If you’re new here, we’d love to introduce you to the heart behind Gold Rush Cure Foundation:

Our founders, Sandy and Gary Barker. đź’›

Gold Rush Cure Foundation was founded in memory of their son, Christian, and from the very beginning, Sandy and Gary have poured their hearts into creating something that brings hope, encouragement, and meaningful support to children fighting cancer and the families walking alongside them.

Sandy serves as President of Gold Rush Cure Foundation and has spent years advocating for children with cancer, including making more than 35 trips to Washington, D.C. to help push for better, less-toxic treatments.

Gary serves as Vice President and Chair of the Board, helping guide the mission and growth of the organization alongside Sandy.

Together, they have helped turn a deeply personal experience into a nationwide community of volunteers, supporters, and families united by one goal: bringing joy and support to kids when they need it most.

We’re so grateful for the heart, dedication, and love they continue to pour into this mission every day.

There’s nothing quite like seeing the joy a Pot of Gold can bring. 💛

Nivea and her sister, Shireen, could not have been more excited or grateful for their gifts. Seeing her smile and giving her something to look forward to is exactly why we do what we do.

Nivea has been having a tough time with treatment side effects and simply hasn’t been feeling her best. After a year of homeschooling following her diagnosis, she’s getting ready to head back to school this fall, and she chose clothes and shoes to help her feel ready for this exciting new chapter!

While many families are settling into back-to-school routines, families of children battling cancer are navigating treatments, appointments, hospital stays, and so much uncertainty.

That’s why moments of joy matter. 💛

Brendan and his family were incredibly grateful for their Pot of Gold, and we’re so glad we could bring a little happiness and encouragement during such a difficult season.

Help us continue showing up for kids like Brendan. Donate today or get involved by volunteering in your local community and help us bring hope and joy to families facing childhood cancer. 🎗️

We couldn’t pick just one photo of this sweet Kansas City girl because every single smile was too good not to share. 💛

After delivering her Pot of Gold, one of our volunteers shared, “These gifts made a little girl so happy!!! Thank you to your wonderful organization.”

These big smiles are exactly why we do what we do. At Gold Rush Cure Foundation, our mission is to encourage children facing childhood cancer, remind them how incredibly special they are, and bring a little extra joy into their lives when they need it most.

And judging by these smiles, we’d say this Pot of Gold did just that.

Want to help create more smiles like these? Donate to support our mission or become a volunteer and help us bring joy to children facing cancer in your local community. With volunteers serving families nationwide, there are so many ways to make a difference.

Leilani is a huge sports fan, so she had just as much fun opening her Pot of Gold as our team had putting it together! Filled with gifts from some of her favorite teams, we hope each surprise brings a little extra excitement, comfort, and encouragement as she continues her journey.

It’s an honor to support families like Leilani’s and remind them that their strength and courage never go unnoticed. 💛
