The MIP Foundation’s mission is to encourage and offer mental health support to teens fighting cancer

10/09/2026

In 2025 we helped 2,806 AYAs have something to do during treatment. This year, working with the child life specialists at Cancer Center at CHOP and Nemours we are on target to help even more AYAs. These are YOUR donations directly impacting a teen.

When a teenager is facing cancer, empowering mental health skills and coping strategies are instrumental in supporting their wellbeing. This includes having age appropriate activities to help pass the time during treatment.

As part of our mission The MIP Foundation provides “teen toys” to the Oncology Child Life teams of our hospital partners. A child life specialist then uses the activity to engage in a conversation with a patient, allowing them to check in on how they are doing- both mentally and physically. Teens can be reluctant to engage in a conversation and a “teen toy” helps to make that conversation possible.

Importantly, the activity then not only helps to pass the time while receiving chemo, blood products, waiting for a procedure, or being inpatient, it allows a teen to relax and destress.

That is Turning Pain into Power!

So how do you turn Pain into Power?

You start by asking for help.

Too often, teens and young adults think asking for help with what they’re thinking and feeling is a sign of weakness. That to beat cancer, they have to be strong. But think about it—throughout life, we’ve all needed help learning new things. This includes coping skills.

Learn Algebra on your own? Probably not! Make sense of Shakespeare? Not without a teacher. Learn to drive? You need a lesson first!

All of these everyday skills require help. And dealing with cancer is anything but an everyday life skill.

So start by asking for help. We’re so glad Owin and his mom did!

Every MIP Kit is created to fit the patient that has been nominated. Literally, not one MIP Kit is the same. They shouldn’t be; everyone’s cancer journey is unique and so should their MIP Kit!
Every teen and young adult truly is the Most Important Person on their cancer journey. They amaze us with their interests and abilities!

Wow. We asked for $13,500. You showed up and gave us $16,000. 💛

And truthfully, we’re having a hard time finding the words…

This September, in honor of what would have been Colin’s 27th birthday, we set out with one big wish: to raise enough to provide 27 MIP Kits to 27 young people facing cancer.

You didn’t just help us reach that goal. You carried us beyond it.

Together, you raised more than $16,300 – enough to provide 32 MIP Kits to 32 teens and young adults facing cancer. That’s 32 young people who will open a kit created specifically for them. 32 young people who will feel seen, supported and cared for during a time when so much of their life feels outside of their control. 32 AYAs that will be reminded they are so much more than their diagnosis.

For a small nonprofit run by an entirely volunteer-based staff, this means more than we can possibly put into a caption.

Every dollar allows us to continue doing work that started from one family’s experience with cancer—and one mom’s determination to make that experience a little different for the young people who come after Colin.

To every person who donated, shared a post, told a friend, celebrated Colin with us or simply helped our message reach someone new: Thank you 🙏

You believed in this mission. You showed up for these kids. And because of you, we get to keep doing this incredibly important work.

September may be over. Our work is not.
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for helping us make sure more teens and young adults facing cancer know that they are seen, they matter, and they never have to be defined by their diagnosis.

$16,000. 32 MIP Kits. 32 young people. One incredible community. 💛

For Colin. And for every MIP who comes next. 🎗️

THIS IS IT. 💛

Today is the last day of our September fundraising campaign—and we’re asking our community for one final push.

All month long, you’ve donated. You’ve shared. You’ve helped more people discover MIP and understand why supporting teens and young adults through cancer matters.

Now, let’s finish what we started.

Our September goal is $13,500 to provide 27 MIP Kits to 27 young people facing cancer, in honor of Colin’s 27th birthday.

If you’ve been thinking about donating, today is the day.

Give $10. Give $27. Give $100. Whatever feels right.

Already donated? Share this post. Send it to a friend. Ask someone else to join you.

Every gift matters. Every share matters.

And every one gets us closer to 27. 💛

ONE LAST DAY. ONE FINAL PUSH.
LET’S DO THIS!

Cancer Sucks. But cancer as a teenager hits especially hard. 🎗️

Every day, teens and young adults are navigating the physical and emotional weight of a cancer diagnosis. All during the most formative time of their lives.

While we can’t change the diagnosis, we can help make sure they feel supported, empowered and reminded that they are so much more than their cancer.

The MIP Foundation is redefining the meaning of support in teenage cancer. Our flagship “MIP Kits” are specialized for each recipient, supporting their mental health and providing coping skills during their treatment and cancer journey.

In honor of Childhood Cancer Awareness month, we’re asking you to help us turn awareness into action.

🎗️ OUR GOAL: $13,500

Every donation—big or small—moves us one step closer. And we’re almost there!

Help us reach our goal. Donate. Share. Make an impact.
