The mission, four ways
Each cause was chosen in a brother’s memory. We hold all four as equal — four pillars under one mission.
Oncology · In memory of Brian
The work he gave his life to — carried forward.
Brian Van Tine built one of the country’s largest sarcoma programs and spent his career fighting the rarest, hardest cancers. This program continues that work — funding sarcoma research and standing beside the patients and families living it.
What your gift does
Fuels sarcoma research and better treatments
Supports patients and families through their care
Backs first-in-human trials for rare, difficult cancers
Cardiology · ECMO family travel
No family should choose between the bedside and the cost of getting there.
ECMO is the most intensive form of heart-and-lung life support — and it often means a loved one is moved to a specialized center, far from home, for weeks. This program helps families stay close through the hardest days.
What your gift does
Helps cover the travel that keeps families at the bedside
Mental health · In memory of Eric
Support, resources, and dignity.
This program exists in Eric’s memory — so that others, and the families walking alongside them, have support, resources, and dignity, and don’t carry it alone.
What your gift does
Extends support, resources, and dignity to people navigating mental-health challenges — and their families
The creative arts · All three brothers
Healing through the creative arts.
Each of the brothers had a connection to music and the arts. This pillar carries that forward — supporting healing through the creative arts.
What your gift does
Brings the creative arts to the people and moments that need them most
