The mission of Sky High for Kids is to bring communities together to provide comfort, fund research, and save lives of those fighting pediatric cancer and other life-threatening conditions.
Sky High is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded by Louisiana native, Brittany Hebert Franklin. Comprised of a devoted staff, board members, and an army of volunteers, we work tirelessly to support children undergoing treatment for cancer and other life-threatening conditions. Our efforts benefit leading hospitals and research centers by closing the gap in childhood cancer rates globally. The Sky High for Kids team is saving kids through advanced medical studies and healing families who are battling cancer now through our comfort programs.
