The Keith Dawson Foundation
The Keith Dawson Foundation is a non-profit organization that provides support to families in medical crisis due to Leukemia and Lymphoma diagnoses. The Foundation tailors to the unique needs of families by providing personalized care packages. The Care Packages consist of financial support, mental well-being activities, personal care items and more.
In a message from its founder, Keith Hilliard-Dawson talks about his father’s diagnosis and battle with a rare form of Leukemia. Keith states that his family was in a state of disbelief; however, we were comforted by his charisma, humor, and most of all, his will to live.
As a family they were determined to share his story by creating The Keith Dawson Foundation, honoring his name, their journey, and his legacy. To learn more, please visit https://www.thekeithdawsonfoundation.com/
