Reflections Of Grace Foundation is named after Grace Elizabeth Ekis, a 5-year old girl from North Huntingdon, PA, who lost her courageous 13-month battle with a rare cancerous brain tumor on Valentine's Day 2008.  As its mission, the Reflections Of Grace
Foundation is dedicated to:

• Providing financial, emotional, and educational support for children and their families affected by pediatric brain cancer. 
• Raising awareness of all types of pediatric brain tumors, with a particular focus on DIPGs, or Brainstem Gliomas. 
• Joining with other like-minded organizations in educating, aiding and funding the search for a cure for DIPG and other forms of pediatric brain cancer, in the hopes of curing all cancers.

Monies raised by the Foundation go directly to families with children battling brain cancer, and also are used to fund crucial research grants, with the intent of someday
discovering a cure.
