Ourstory
In May 2014, I received a call from my mother that would change the very fabric of our lives. My father had been diagnosed with a rare form of Leukemia. The family was in a state of disbelief; however, we were comforted by his charisma, humor, and most of all, his will to live.
During the course of treatment, we were reminded of his love for his family and most of all his unique gift for engaging with any and everyone around him. As a family we were determined to share his story by creating The Keith Dawson Foundation; honoring his name, our journey, and his legacy.

The Keith Dawson Foundation provides support to families in medical crises due to Leukemia and Lymphoma diagnoses. The foundation tailors to the unique needs of families by giving care packages containing essential goods. Care packages included financial support, mental well-being activities, personal care items, and more.
During COVID-19, the Foundation recognized recipients were in the high-risk population group and began a call to action to meet their immediate needs. Individuals and families were sent water, food, paper towels, toilet paper, and essential care items.
