2025 in review
A message from Heather, Haley’s Mom & Executive Director
As I reflect on 2025, I am in awe of God’s glory revealed through Haley’s legacy. Each day, we are honored to bring Moments of Joy to patients and families during some of their darkest times. What began as a small way for patients to celebrate their birthday, grew into something far greater than we ever imagined.
2025 has been a remarkable year of growth for The Haley Rasco Foundation:
We surpassed $500,000 in donations. The generosity of our donors is truly humbling. Your continued support makes every program possible and allows us to reach more patients and families than ever before.
We surpassed 2,000 birthdays delivered. In 2025 alone, we delivered 936 birthday celebrations, bringing our three-year total to 2,121 birthdays. We are incredibly grateful to celebrate these special days with patients and families, and we are thankful for the Child Life teams at each hospital who partner with us to make this possible.
We had our biggest year yet for Haley’s Holiday Helper. Through an incredible logistical effort, we served 51 families this Christmas season providing gifts for the patient and their entire family. We also provided 34 of those families with a Christmas tree and decorations for their home or hospital room. Our amazing volunteers wrapped more than 550 gifts at our office, and we even rented a U-Haul to deliver them all! We are so thankful to everyone who supported this program and helped bring the magic of Christmas to these families.
There are so many more milestones and stories worth celebrating, which you can find in our 2025 Year End Impact Statement below. But I also want to pause and say thank you:
To our donors, your support is the heartbeat of every program we offer.
To our volunteers, your time is precious, and we are deeply grateful that you choose to spend it being the hands and feet of Jesus to our patients.
To my staff, Brittany Ishamel, Amy Nobles, Miranda Lippman, and Rebecca Hutchinson, thank you for carrying the vision with heart and dedication. This small but mighty team makes the mission possible.
From the bottom of my momma heart, thank you to every single person who plays a role in Haley’s legacy. Whether you have given once or many times, served behind the scenes, prayed, or shared our mission, every person is a vital piece of the impact we are able to make.
Because of you, we have now provided more than 38,000 Moments of Joy to patients and families.
Thank you for being part of this journey.
