About Making Headway Foundation

The Bernard M. Hartnett Memorial Fund is administered by Making Headway Foundation and will directly help families who have a child diagnosed with a brain or spinal cord tumor.

Making Headway provides supportive care and comfort to families of children diagnosed with a brain or spinal cord tumor, before surgery, during the hospital stay, and after the child returns home. Our programs and services are designed to help children and their families cope with the fear, anxiety, and neurological consequences of hospitalization, surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation treatments. At the same time, Making Headway is helping to find a cure, funding vital medical research in a field that has long been underfunded. Making Headway Foundation is a 501c3 nonprofit organization, EIN 13-3906297. All donations are 100% tax deductible.
