Austin Hatcher Foundation

Because cancer families have enough on their plates already 🤍

The challenges of a diagnosis can be sudden, heavy, and long-lasting. Thanks to supporters like you, we provide 100% free services to help families worry less about the effects of cancer and focus more on moving forward.

Our June Skills Night was all about gardening 🪏🪴🍅🥬🥕

A huge thank you to Crabtree Farms of Chattanooga for teaching our teens & young adults about the benefits of gardening for a healthy environment and lifestyle. Plus, our students got some hands-on practice planting and harvesting!

There’s nothing like good food & good company! 🍔

Last week, our Men’s Group had a blast grilling out and practicing on our driving simulator. 🚗

Dads in every stage of the cancer journey deserve the chance to find community, and we’re honored to be a part of it 🤍

Right parts, in the right hands, at the right time. ⚙️

Big news: To fuel the nation’s only Industrial Arts Therapy program, JEGS Performance has partnered with us to help childhood cancer families rebuild, recover, and thrive.

By combining quality resources with specialized therapy, we’re giving families the tools they need to navigate the road to recovery. 💚

When it comes to our camps, there’s more than meets the eye!

Our camps are intentionally designed to combine fun activities with hands-on learning — so oftentimes what looks and feels like “play” is actually full of therapeutic benefits. 💚

Because at AHF, kids and siblings facing pediatric cancer don’t just receive clinical care — they engage in transformative programs that build personal resilience (and have a lot of fun in the process)!

This National Cancer Survivors Day, we celebrate Cameron and every survivor whose joy we get to be a part of.

Because of your lasting support, we get to stand by our families for the long haul.

Happy National Cancer Survivors Day 🎗️

When a survivor rings the bell, it’s a milestone to celebrate. But we know that the end of treatment is just the beginning of navigating a “new normal.” Even into survivorship, new challenges arise for every member of the family.

That’s why we’re in it for the long haul — the impact of cancer is long-lasting, but so is our support for families. 💚

That’s a wrap on Jurassic June Camp! 🦕 Campers rounded out the week with many more dino-themed games and (of course) everyone’s favorite activity: water day 😎

July camp can’t come soon enough!
