Welcome to the Piggyback Foundation

Who We Are:

Founded in 2007, The Piggyback Foundation was created to help carry families through times of need because every child loves a piggyback ride. We do big, little things to create joy for families faced with a life threatening illness.

We focus on families from all walks of life that are not receiving services elsewhere and need help to maintain normalcy for all the children in the family.

Cancer is scary, whether it is a sibling diagnosed or a parent. It changes your whole life and definitely gives a new perspective. There are doctor appointments, hospital visits, surgeries, and treatments. One of our parents, Margaret, loved that Piggyback didn't focus on her illness, but instead helped her enjoy time with her daughter.

We have a passion for helping people facing life-threatening illnesses like cancer. Although, we can't do anything to change their diagnosis, we can try to ease their stress and help them focus on the joys of life.

The Piggyback Foundation helps families maintain a sense of normalcy during times of serious illness by providing assistance to meet the emotional, educational, and physical needs of the children.
