The Izzy Foundation

Mission: The Izzy Foundation is a national nonprofit located in Providence, Rhode Island whose mission is to design, fund and IZspire creative projects and programs for families whose children have cancer or other life altering medical conditions to LIVE, LAUGH, LOVE and PLAY. Izzy's Story: The inspiration for The Izzy Foundation came from Isabelle Marie Wohlrab (Izzy), who was diagnosed with Stage 4 rhabdomyosarcoma cancer two weeks after her first birthday. Izzy maintained an incredible spirit over the next 2.5 years and spread joy and happiness to everyone who met her. Through her grace and determination, she showed everyone that she reached a glimpse of just how beautiful life can be. Even after Izzy earned her angel wings, she has inspired her parents, family, friends, and countless others to continue with her philosophy to LIVE, LAUGH, LOVE and PLAY through The Izzy Foundation. Initially created to defray the costs of Izzy’s stem-cell transplant in Germany, The Izzy Foundation now seeks to design spaces, provide services and support to children with cancer and their families by implementing inpatient and outpatient services for pediatric patients at Hasbro Children’s Hospital in Providence, Rhode Island and nationwide. Your support contributes to many projects including: the build, design, and creation of IZspiring spaces like the Izzy Family Room, a special playground in Pinecrest, NC, and the Izzy Surgical Waiting Room at Hasbro Children’s Hospital in Providence, RI, as well as The Izzy Family Room meals and activities, support groups, scholarships for pediatric cancer survivors and their siblings, and our Angel Families holiday program.
