Super Sam Foundation: Fighting Childhood Cancer

Directions Website Contact the organization

The Super Sam Foundation (SSF) strives to help "All the Kids" fighting childhood cancer. Read below to learn more about our important work.

Sam’s Mission:

To help ‘All the Kids’ fighting cancer or any life altering illness. We do this through: Awareness, Advocacy, Hero & Family Support, and Research. (See more about our programs and work below and by following our page!)

The Super Sam Foundation operates under three main principles within the work we do:
1) Does this honor God?
2) Would this make Sam proud?
3) Does this help ‘All the Kids?’

If the answer is ‘yes’ to the three principles above, we do our best to help. Hero Comfort Packs:
These were the wish of our founder and hero, Super Sam. These packs are filled with items that our founder said made him more comfortable, such as a soft blanket, stuffed friend, and movie. To date, this outreach has made over 3,000 kids more comfortable across the country! Sibling Support Packs:
Started by Ava, Sam’s twin sister, this sling bag is filled with items that helped her during Sam’s fight because as she says, “Cancer is a family fight.” These packs are filled with journals, writing utensils, stuffed animal, crazy socks, and more. Caregiver Support Packs:
These packs are designed to bring comfort to the parent/caregiver while functional and stylish. This bag is designed to be a hospital grab-and-go bag filled with a soft adult sized blanket, scent-free laundry supplies, journals to track medicines/treatments, toiletries, and more. Research:

To fund meaningful research grant(s) every year supporting rhabdomyosarcoma and soft tissue sarcoma research. To date, SSF has funded more than $330,000 in pediatric cancer research. Currently the NIH allots less than 4% of national funding to pediatric cancer research. The cold, hard truth is that:
- Every day, 46 children in the U.S. are diagnosed with cancer.

- 1 of every 5 children diagnosed with cancer does not survive.

- More children are lost to cancer in the U.S. than any disease.

- Less than 4% of National Cancer Institutes budget is allocated to children. Of that 4% the money is divided between the 12 types of childhood cancers. The subtypes over triple that division to cancers.

- Most chemotherapies are decades old and only a diluted version of the adult forms. This is not ideal for children and isn't acceptable.

- Pharmaceutical companies fund nearly 60% beyond the NCI's budget for new ADULT treatment research but less than 1% for children's treatments.

🎃 Happy Halloween from Super Sam Foundation! 🎃

Wishing all the brave heroes and their families a day filled with a little extra magic, plenty of smiles, and some spooky fun! 🕸️

10/30/2026

🎃 Halloween might look a little different for heroes spending it in the hospital, but every hero deserves a little Halloween magic. 👻💛

This season, we’re sending extra love, smiles, and spooky fun to our brave kids fighting childhood cancer. May their days be filled with a few extra treats, moments of joy, and reminders of just how loved they are. 🎗️💛

September may be coming to an end, but childhood cancer doesn’t stop, and neither does the fight. 💛🎗️

This month, we’ve worn gold, shared stories, honored heroes, celebrated survivors, and remembered the angels whose lives were taken too soon.

The month may be ending. But our mission isn’t. 💛

Awareness is more than a month on the calendar. It’s a commitment to keep showing up, speaking up, and fighting for a future where no child has to face cancer.
