Tough2gether Foundation is fighting childhood cancer. It's personal to us! We've watched too many children die from DIPG, the most terminal childhood cancer. In fact Tough2gether Foundation was founded by Jace Ward, who at 20 fought DIPG for two years while advocating for others, raising funds to expand trials and starting this foundation. We work daily to care for families in the fight by providing information and supporting their financial needs. Central to our mission is fueling research and clinical trials and to fill the gaps in the current pediatric cancer system. We're bringing people who care together to change the patient data landscape and the way clinical trials operate from a single approach to combinations. Team up with us to end DIPG and all childhood cancer as we know it.

Zip With Us, Inc. is a 501(c)3 public charity serving infants and children with cancer and other life-threatening illnesses via the donation of custom, vibrant medically-adapted garments. Our products enable kids ranging from infants to teens to keep their shirts on during chemotherapy and other infusion treatments both in the hospital and during at-home care. Our ZipShirts™ provide dignity and comfort, while making the medical device “access” process easier for both patients and caregivers since they are configured for the individual patient’s medical access points (e.g. ports, picc lines, central lines, g-tubes, n-tubes, etc.). They are soft, bright and personalized to match a child’s favorite colors, characters, and themes. Our new line of Drew’s Cruisers™ are medically-adapted onesies that protect a baby’s central lines via fasteners and flaps, allowing the child to move and play freely without worrying about line dislodgement or injury. These onesies are positive for these little ones in two powerful ways: (i) mitigating the chance of line infections and the need for unnecessary surgery due to accidental dislodgement, as well as (ii) helping prevent developmental stagnation by allowing free movement.
