Business/organization type:
Mighty for Madison, operating as the Maddie B. Childhood Cancer Foundation, is a nonprofit charity based out of Fairport, New York, established in memory of Madison "Maddie" Kait Barthelmes. Maddie passed away from acute myeloid leukemia in February 2023 at the age of six. During her year-long treatment at Golisano Children's Hospital, she was known for her vibrant joy, love of art, and dancing with her doctors and nurses.
- Hospital Support & Toys:
The charity runs major annual initiatives like Maddie's Birthday Toy Drive to collect and distribute toys, books, and comfort items to children in area hospitals.
- Room Decoration Kits:
They assemble and ship themed hospital room-decorating boxes to brighten up long-term inpatient stays for pediatric patients.
- Community Partnerships:
The organization collaborates with regional healthcare providers, supplying items for pediatric hospitality carts—such as the Thompson Trolley at F.F. Thompson Hospital.
- Blood & Bone Marrow Drives:
Reflecting the heavy transfusion support Maddie received during her fight, the organization heavily promotes blood, platelet, and bone marrow donor registration.
