The Hero Foundation
The Hero Foundation is a Michigan 501c3 nonprofit organization dedicated to providing financial assistance to Michigan families who are suffering from cancer. The financial assistance we provide helps Michigan families pay their mortgages and their medical bills. Our journey began in 2009 after we watched someone we love dearly fight against pancreatic cancer. We have been there. We know what you are going through. We are here to help. On behalf of the Board of Heroes, we thank you for choosing The Hero Foundation as your Michigan cancer charity of choice.
