Join us in supporting the Emily Whitehead Foundation by becoming a fundraiser!
Westminster High School students are teaming up with the Emily Whitehead Foundation to deliver Believe Bundles — thoughtfully curated care packages that bring comfort, joy, and hope to children receiving treatment for cancer and rare diseases.
Each Believe Bundle is co-created with hospital partners and patient families to include meaningful, high-quality items that brighten long hospital stays and remind patients they’re surrounded by care and love. Beyond the gifts inside, these bundles help connect families to the Foundation’s larger network of support and advocacy.
Your donation helps students deliver smiles, hope, and belonging to children who need it most. Together, we can fill more bundles and make a lasting difference for patients and families.
In 2012, Emily Whitehead, at just five years old, was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia. After relapsing twice and running out of conventional treatment options, Emily became the first pediatric patient to receive CAR T-cell therapy, a groundbreaking treatment that uses the patient’s own immune cells to fight cancer. Against the odds, Emily survived—and today, she is cancer-free, thriving, and living proof that advanced therapies can change lives.
Since its founding, the Emily Whitehead Foundation has paved the way for over 35,000 patients to access CAR T-cell therapy and raised over $2 million for groundbreaking advanced therapies research.
Your effort is helping us support patients and caregivers affected by childhood diseases and advocate for all patients who can be treated with advanced therapies.
The Emily Whitehead Foundation was created by Emily and her family to increase awareness and access to these life-saving therapies, so other children can have the same opportunity for a cure. The foundation’s mission is to support patients and caregivers affected by cancer and rare diseases, and advocate for all patients who can be treated with advanced therapies
