The Chelsea Hicks Foundation was founded in 2009 and inspired by Chelsea Hicks. While undergoing 22 months of treatment for childhood cancer, Chelsea loved playing dress-up with her young cousins and fellow patients – and the joy of play and reminder of childhood was therapeutic for her and everyone around her.
When Chelsea passed away at the age of five, her family wanted to honor her memory by bringing imagination and play to other hospitalized children. Today The Chelsea Hicks Foundation is bringing hope and healing to seriously ill children in Northwest hospitals.
