IMPACT

The Blake Pottle Foundation is committed to honoring both the person and the journey of those affected by cancer. Through initiatives like 'Moments that Matter' boxes and direct support for patient well-being, we aim to bring comfort directly to patients, families, and caregivers.

Our mission

The Blake Pottle Foundation provides direct support, resources, and hope to cancer patients, caregivers, and families to make their cancer journey less burdensome.

Our Vision

Inspired by Blake Pottle's legacy of 'living for others,' we envision a future where no family faces their cancer journey alone - where every patient, caregiver, and family member feels supported and understood.

Swedish Cancer Institute received a ceiling lift for comfortably transferring patients.

"A cancer diagnosis has a huge impact on the patient and family. Cancer and the treatments for cancer can cause life changing mobility issues. Transferring patients can cause patients pain, guilt, and shame when the appropriate equipment is not available. It can also cause staff injury and a feeling of helplessness for the family. Having this ceiling lift available to our patients and staff would eliminate access and comfort issues felt by some of our patients which would allow them to focus on fighting and healing." We cannot thank the Blake Pottle Family enough!"

Moments that matter

Cancer impacts every aspect of life, but moments of kindness can provide strength and hope.

The Blake Pottle Foundation’s Moments that Matter boxes offer thoughtful comfort to patients and families during their hardest days. These boxes include meaningful items such as blankets, handwritten notes, and small gifts designed to bring care and compassion.

They have brought joy to children, eased recovery for patients, and reminded caregivers that they are not alone.

Through this initiative, the Foundation honors both the person and the journey.
