Why We Exist
The Dylan Project was born out of a desire to make a difference for families facing childhood cancer. Our founder, Mike Dechristopher, started with one simple mission: to bring joy to children fighting a battle no child should ever face. Through gifts, donations, and community involvement, we strive to create lasting memories for these children and ease the emotional and financial burdens on their families. The Dylan Project organization and its programs do not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, national origin, s*x, gender identity, s*xual orientation, age, disability, or any other legally protected characteristic. As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to bringing joy and support to children with cancer and their families, The Dylan Project upholds the highest standards of inclusivity, compassion, and respect in every aspect of our mission. We welcome and serve all individuals and families regardless of background, and we are committed to fostering a diverse and equitable community.

We’re still thinking about what an incredible night our 3rd Annual Gala was. πŸ’›

Because of the generosity, support, and love from our sponsors, attendees, and donors, we are so proud to share that we raised over $40,000 to support children and families facing pediatric cancer.

Every dollar, every conversation, every moment of that night makes a differenceβ€”and we are beyond grateful to each and every one of you who made it so special.

Watching this recap brings it all back… the energy, the emotion, and the powerful reminder of why we do what we do.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for standing with us and helping us continue this mission.

We’re already looking forward to doing it all again next year…
