About Brandon's Foundation

Brandon's Foundation (formerly known as The Michael Brandon Young Childhood Cancer Foundation, Inc.) is an independent, non-profit health organization with 501(c)3 status (IRS tax exemption). We are seeking to raise funds to provide direct educational and financial support to children with cancer and their families. We hope to raise enough funds to make a substantial impact on the need for and execution of childhood cancer research programs.

We are currently involved with the Pediatric Hematology/Oncology and Bone marrow transplant units at Duke University and Egleston Children’s hospital at Emory University. Brandon's Foundation serves the children diagnosed with cancer before the age of 21 and their families throughout the United States.
