The Carson Higgins Memorial Foundation is a 501(c)(3) organization that enhances the quality of life for children facing cancer and other life challenges by funding programs that provide therapeutic, medical, and educational opportunities. The Higgins family founded the Carson Higgins Memorial Foundation in 2017, one year after losing their son and brother to cancer. Carson Higgins was first diagn

This time, it was terminal. Carson passed away with his family, on their Trip Of A Lifetime, in 2016 at the age of 12. Carson faced adversity with peace and grace. In his short life, he inspired so many to be kind and generous, regardless of the circumstances. He was always “paying it forward”, and it is in this spirit that CHMF was formed. Through CHMF, the Higgins family and CHMF donors help families with children facing pediatric cancer and other life challenges. They seek to bring comfort and hope to families who are facing the unimaginable, just as family, friends and community members supported the Higgins family in their time of need. The CHMF relies on individual and corporate donations to pay it forward. With your help, we can bring hope to other families facing difficult and sometimes devastating life challenges. Together, we are .
