Welcome to The Dragonfly Foundation
We help pediatric cancer patients and families find strength, courage and joy. Our mission is to support families as a whole at time of diagnosis, throughout treatment, and beyond.

Founded in 2010 by Christine Neitzke after her son Matt was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s Lymphoma Stage 3, The Dragonfly Foundation was created to fill a critical gap in pediatric cancer care—supporting the emotional, social, and essential needs of patients and their families. While excellent medical treatment is essential, the challenges of pediatric cancer extend far beyond hospital walls.
