Sadie’s Dream for a Cure is a 501(c) 3 organization that was created six years ago when six-month-old Sadie was diagnosed with cancer. Members of Sadie’s extended family wanted to find a way to lift the spirits of children like Sadie who were hospitalized due to illness or injury.
The fully volunteer-based organization has made countless donations of toys and games to hospitals throughout the country, providing 230 bags alone in March to children from birth through age 16. Sadie is now seven-years-old and enjoys playing soccer and performing ballet in Texas where she resides with her family.
