Peyton's Promise, Inc.

Peyton's Promise, Inc is a non-profit organization started by us (Eric and Molly Belling) in April of 2015 to honor our son, Peyton Daniel Belling, who passed away due to complications from Leukemia at the age of 3. The organization is dedicated to helping families that are faced with adversity, whether it is the loss of a child or any other challenging situation in their lives. Our promise to Peyton is that we will provide assistance to these families in ways that touch the soul, create hope and facilitate learning, prevention and healing. Our goal is to utilize donated proceeds for meaningful purposes that provide comfort and support to families, and allow donors to see a real, tangible impact they have on someone else’s life. Our first event this year (May, 2015) has personal meaning to us as we know firsthand its significance and importance. All proceeds raised this year will go to fund the purchasing of Memory Boxes at Riley Hospital in Indianapolis, IN. Before Peyton passed away, Riley created a mold of his hand, which was presented to us in a hospital blanket. As a parent it is hard to imagine that you will never be able to hold your child’s hand again so receiving this mold was just as important to us as all of the medical care our son received from Riley. In the past, Riley provided a beautiful Memory Box with these molds, but the boxes were donation-based and that funding is no longer available. For parents who lose children at Riley, these memory boxes not only provide a way to safely transport the mold, but also provide a beautiful way to preserve and display something that can never be replaced. As recipients of one of these molds and understanding how meaningful it is to us, we want to use the donated funds from the 2015 Golf Outing to re-establish this Memory Box program at Riley and ensure future families facing a loss receive one of these beautiful boxes to take their cherished possession home.
