Our Mission

To honor Harper’s life by bringing more kindness, hope, and joy into the world.

Love does not end when someone we love is gone.

It continues through the people and lives it touches.

Kindness is how we carry that love forward.

Harper’s Light Foundation turns that belief into action.

What We Hope to Do

As the foundation grows, Harper’s Light will focus on areas that reflect Harper’s life and the experiences that shaped our family.

Bring Light to Children Facing Serious Illness

Create moments of happiness, comfort, normalcy, and connection for children facing circumstances no child should have to face.

Support Families

Help families navigating serious childhood illness feel less alone and provide meaningful support during extraordinarily difficult periods of their lives.

Advance Pediatric Brain Tumor Research

Support researchers and organizations working toward better treatments — and ultimately cures — for devastating childhood brain tumors.

Create Opportunities for Children

Support educational opportunities, scholarships, and programs that allow children to learn, grow, discover, and dream.

Inspire Everyday Kindness

Encourage people to carry Harper’s spirit into their own communities through simple acts of compassion, generosity, inclusion, and joy.

Support Organizations Doing Good

Partner with and provide grants to organizations whose work reflects the values at the heart of Harper’s Light.

Our Values

Love

Love is the reason Harper’s Light exists and the force that sustains it.

Kindness

Kindness turns love into action.

Joy

Even during difficult times, moments of happiness matter.

Hope

We believe tomorrow can be better because people choose to make it so.

Compassion

We see the person before the circumstance and seek to meet people where they are.

Stewardship

Every resource entrusted to Harper’s Light should be used thoughtfully, responsibly, and with purpose.

Our Measure

As Harper’s Light grows, one question will guide every program, partnership, and decision:

Does this spread Harper’s light?

If it creates kindness, hope, joy, opportunity, or healing for another person, then a part of Harper continues forward.
