WELCOME

Formed by both doctors and parents in 1981, The Mariposas Foundation is a nonprofit organization that focuses mainly on children with Leukemia and other blood related disorders.  We work together with the parents, patients, nurses and doctors to create a "normal" kid environment.  This is done by hosting an annual Summer Picnic, Christmas Party, as well as other events.  During these events, the patients can run around and play like normal kids.

These events also help parents bond with others whom have undergone similar experiences.  Parents talk to parents and patients whom have overcome this enormous obstacle, while enjoying free food and entertainment donated by local businesses and private donations

With the help of many volunteers, we have left a legacy of over 25 years in serving the community.
