Meet our Founders

Heather and Dustin Rasco started the Haley Rasco Foundation in August 2022 as a way to continue on Haley’s legacy and bright smile into the world. Having a toddler diagnosed with cancer at the beginning of the Covid pandemic dramatically changed their world and perspective on life forever.

Haley spent over 145 days in the hospital and had over 100 doctor appointments during her battle. Heather and Dustin had immense support from family and friends during Haley’s medical journey, helping with their son Dixon, running errands and helping provide meals. However, they know this is not always the case. Caregivers can be overwhelmed with the the simple day to day task it takes to care for their child’s special medical needs. They were blessed by so many during their journey, they want to give back in every way they can.

It is the mission of the Haley Rasco Foundation is to bring moments of joy to pediatric hospital patients and their families. Whether this means providing Birthdays in Box through their Haley’s Happy Birthdays program, providing a craft, hosting an event at the hospital, or supporting a patient’s families, they know even small moments of joy can make a families medical journey just a bit easier.
