Have A Nice Day Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that grants extraordinary experiences, called Nice*Days (wishes), to young families with a parent fighting cancer. When mom or dad get cancer, the whole family feels the impact and change in normalcy. We believe that each family deserves an opportunity to have an stress-free day of joy and memory making together. Our mission is to spread joy & sunshine to these young families.

The Why:
Welcome to Have a Nice Day Foundation!
After many friends and family members across the country were diagnosed with cancer while raising young children, I kept googling "Make a Wish for parents with cancer", wishing there would be a resource for my friends to have fun, make memories with their children and forget about cancer for awhile. I wanted something to contribute to when I was too far away to give rides, watch their kids or pop over with dinner. After being told by the Mayo Clinic that my own PET scan results could be lymphoma, I spent the following 5 months with a one year old at home (and a baby on the way) with a brain full of dark questions about my family's future. I coped as I had my entire life, making lists of dreams and goals that I wanted to accomplish, this time with adventures with my children at the center. After I lost the baby, sat for future PET scans and waited years to get fully cleared, I vowed to not let the experience go to waste. I decided to create the Make a Wish - like organization for parents with cancer I had been searching for... and Have a Nice Day Foundation was born! We have now granted 14+ personalized Nice*Days (wishes) to families fighting cancer. We can't wait to meet your family and give you time together to create extraordinary memories!
Have a Nice Day Foundation is very proud to be an entirely volunteer-run 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization
that applies 100% of donations directly to granting wishes.
Have a nice day!
