Support to Families & Individuals
We provide support to those battling cancer or catastrophic illness throughout Illinois to help directly support them against the challenges they face.
Sunshine Cart
We fund and maintain a “Sunshine Cart” at OSF Children’s Hospital of Illinois to provide patients and their families items to help them during their time at the hospital.
Community Engagement
We engage our community through events like the Team Tessa 3v3 Soccer Tournament to raise support and increase awareness of pediatric cancer issues.
Tessa’s own ideas to support the community
The Tessa Sutton Foundation was created in honor of Tessa Sutton, a central Illinois teenager who was diagnosed with a rare form of sarcoma cancer during her freshman year of high school in 2021.
When it became apparent a cure was not to be, Tessa helped her family create the foundation that bears her name. She had many ideas of how she wanted to give back and “pay forward” the incredible community support shown to her and her family.
