Carrying hope. Funding futures. Honoring legacy.

We believe that loss doesn’t erase purpose — it refines it.
At the Kevin John McAleese Foundation, every dollar, every scholarship, every act of generosity is rooted in this truth:
that the greatest tribute we can give to those we’ve lost is to invest in those they loved.

From hospital rooms to graduation stages, from grief to growth —
we walk with families navigating the hardest chapters of their lives, and help them turn the page.

We’re not just filling financial gaps. We’re building legacy bridges.
For every child left behind by glioblastoma, we’re creating a future their parent would have been proud of.

Because hope is not a handout.
It’s a hand forward.

The Kevin John McAleese Foundation was born from one man’s legacy — but it lives on through the lives we continue to impact.

Our vision is rooted in compassion, but it reaches toward transformation. We envision a future where families devastated by glioblastoma are met with more than sympathy — they’re met with support, opportunity, and a clear path forward.

We know that a diagnosis doesn’t just affect one person — it reshapes an entire family’s future.
That’s why we stand in the gap:

• Bridging the distance between grief and growth.

• Turning personal loss into collective purpose.

• Ensuring that children left behind aren’t left behind in life.

Through scholarships, patient-family financial relief, and year-round giving, we help rewrite the narrative — not with charity, but with commitment.

We believe hope is more than a feeling.
It’s a vision made real by action.
And every action we take honors the memory of those who’ve walked this journey before — while lighting the way for those just beginning.

This is how we carry Kevin’s legacy forward.
Not only by remembering who he was — but by multiplying what he stood for.
