The Betty Allen Ovarian Cancer Foundation was founded on February 14, 2011 in honor of my mother Betty Allen, a 13-year survivor of ovarian cancer. After I witnessed my mother’s courageous battle, I knew I had to do something to help raise awareness.
Our foundation is very concerned that most women lack the knowledge about the symptoms and risk factors of the five gynecologic cancers, and believe that their yearly Pap smear detects all gynecologic cancers. The Pap test only detects cervical cancer.
In May 2016, our board members reorganized the foundation to focus on all the gynecologic cancers in support of YOU! The foundation is now known as the Betty Allen Gynecologic Cancer Foundation.
Living his childhood dream, he thrived as a professional golfer, competing at the highest level on the PGA TOUR. Beyond the fairways, his achievements were equally impressive. Co-founding Greyson Clothiers with one of his best friends, Morgan enjoyed immediate success as an entrepreneur. Embracing his passions, he took up aviation, even piloting his own flights to tournaments. Most importantly, he found a partner in his wife Chelsea who matches his own outlook and enthusiasm for life.
At some point, he began to notice an issue with a pectoral muscle and sought medical advice. Following an arduous process of tests and consultations, he received a life-altering diagnosis in 2017: Facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD), a rare form of muscular dystrophy. Doctors gave very little in terms of support or direction, so Morgan and Chelsea sprang into action.
What followed was an incredible journey, one that stirred a profound awakening within Morgan. As he sought answers for himself, he uncovered invaluable lessons that transformed his perspective on life. Confronting an ostensibly insurmountable challenge, he harnessed it as a catalyst for unprecedented growth. When conventional medical avenues faltered, he discovered solace in the embrace of nature, nourishment in the power of food, and strength within his own being.
Shortly after his 2017 diagnosis, Morgan and Chelsea established The Morgan Hoffmann Foundation, driven by an unwavering commitment to share these transformative insights with the world.
CHI was founded in May, 2005, by concerned parents of children with HI who had met in the early years of the social media revolution through a Yahoo! Groups community (the “hyperins” message board), launched in May, 1999. CHI founders wanted to make sure there was an organization that could advocate on behalf of each child brought in to the world with the disorder, irrespective of where the child was born and the family’s resources. CHI founders wanted to create opportunities for HI families to come together and learn from leading world experts and each other. CHI founders wanted to help support research so that children born with HI in the future would never die or suffer from brain damage. CHI founders wanted to make sure that when a baby presents with the disorder, medical personnel would quickly make a correct diagnosis so that the baby does not suffer from needless brain damage. CHI founders understood that to be successful, parents would have to work side by side with medical specialists to reach these goals, and so they formed the CHI Scientific Advisory Group (SAG). The SAG is comprised of the leading world specialists treating and researching HI. CHI founders believe that all HI families around the globe are part of the CHI Family.
We are the hospital’s champions. Established in 1995, the Foundation for Morristown Medical Center is a nonprofit, public foundation. Our mission? To inspire community philanthropy to advance exceptional health care for patients at Morristown Medical Center and Goryeb Children’s Hospital. Our objective is to use philanthropy to preserve and expand programs and services in patient care, clinical research, medical and public health education, and preventive medicine.
Once patient bills are paid and reimbursements received, our not-for-profit hospitals depend on philanthropy to fund infrastructure improvements, emerging technologies and the medical expertise needed to meet the demand for their services. And that demand is growing rapidly. Morristown Medical Center and Goryeb Children’s Hospital have become destinations for care throughout the region. We help to ensure that all of those patients get the care they deserve, the kind of care we want for our own families.
Our story began in 1996, with a girl named Samantha. Without warning, she was diagnosed with a brain tumor and her dad’s friend and co-worker wanted to help. It was in this moment that Miracles for Kids was born, beginning our decades-long journey of helping families with critically-ill children.
