The Tyler Foundation

The Tyler Foundation is a Japan-based nonprofit organization supporting children with cancer and their families in Japan.

For kids in hospital…a visit with a favorite cartoon character can help them to smile all week long.
For parents…being able to stay close by the hospital at a reasonable cost, gives them one less thing to worry about.
For some cancer patients…finding a matching bone marrow donor or cord blood can mean a cure.
From helping families find counseling, to providing grants for life-saving research… the Tyler Foundation will make a difference.

Making life better for kids while they’re fighting cancer…
Improving the odds that they will win their fight!
Shine on!
