Sammys Superheroes Foundation

Sammy's Superheroes Foundation is a small non-profit organization based in Columbus, Nebraska. Founded by a group of family friends, the foundation is dedicated to raising awareness for childhood cancers and funding life-saving research. With fewer than five employees, Sammy's Superheroes has made a significant impact in the fight against childhood cancer. The foundation's primary mission is to address the disparity in cancer research funding, where only a small percentage is allocated to children's cancers despite being the leading cause of death by disease in young patients. Sammy's Superheroes works to raise funds and awareness, directing donations to innovative research doctors and hospitals with the goal of finding a cure for childhood cancer. Motivated by the difficult experience of a young boy named Sammy Nahorny, who was diagnosed with cancer at the age of four, the foundation was established to give a voice to children battling this disease. They aim to fill the gap in research funding and provide hope for a future where childhood cancer is no longer a threat.
