Welcome to the Clayton Dabney for Kids with Cancer website. We invite you to look around our site to learn more about Clayton, the mission of the organization, case histories of children and their families we have helped, how we accept referrals of children, and how you can help us in our mission to create everlasting memories.
Clayton Dabney was a very special and courageous little boy who, at the age of six, lost his battle with cancer. Clayton’s unique spirit and legacy lives on, however, through the organization and the supporters who further our cause to help needy families that struggle with the effects of a child dying from cancer.
Medicine of the Heart, our primary outreach program, has helped over 5,600 families and distributed over $10 million in last wishes, gifts and financial assistance to terminally ill children and their needy families across the United States. As a non-profit, charitable organization, we depend solely on the community for funding and hope you will find a way to help us continue our mission.
Cancer is a devastating disease that strikes children indiscriminately, leaving families emotionally and financially exhausted. Clayton Dabney for Kids with Cancer can help ease these burdens and help provide much needed life-long memories. For when it is all said and done, that is all there is… memories.
