Julia’s Grace Foundation was created to honor the dreams and wishes of Julia Grace Eveland, an eight year old from Royersford, PA who lost her battle with childhood cancer in September 2013. Through the work of Julia’s Grace Foundation her spirit lives on.

It all started with Julia - a little girl with big blue eyes that sparkled with every smile; with unbounded optimism who was not afraid to sing out loud because she knew the sun would come out tomorrow; a generous spirit who cared about others and took action giving away her presents to other children with cancer and raising money to help doctors that were working to find a cure. The foundation’s purpose is to raise money to be used to fund childhood cancer research projects, raise public awareness of childhood cancer and most importantly, offer support to children undergoing cancer treatment and their families.
