Celebrating the Let it Be Foundation

Ten years of helping families battling pediatric cancer and other life-threatening diseases.

This year marks the tenth anniversary of The Let it Be Foundation, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization designed to help pediatric cancer patients and their families. For the past decade, Founder Ruthe Rosen and her team of volunteers have helped countless families within the community deal with both the financial and emotional challenges brought forth by cancer and other life-threatening diseases. What makes Let it Be Foundation unique is that it focuses on helping the entire family adjust.

Ms. Rosen is extremely grateful to her team of youth volunteers, community helpers, and sponsors for all their contributions. Run solely on donations, Let it Be generates funds through special events such as their lemonade stands, 5K Run/Walk, golf tournaments, and more. These funds are dedicated to helping families through fun activities (i.e. movies, parties for Let it Be kids), providing families with supplies (school supplies, meals), and other bigger projects such as room enhancements.

The Annual Golf Tournament will be held on February 11th at the Los Serranos Golf Course in Chino Hills, CA. This exciting event includes a noted speaker, an auction, golf tournament, and full dinner. A separate youth scramble has been scheduled on February 20th.
