The Sean Hanna Foundation is a public charity registered in New Jersey. Our aim is to ease the burdens of patients suffering from childhood cancers and their families in honor of the life of its namesake, Sean Hanna. Sean was a seven years old Piscataway resident when he was diagnosed with pediatric Cancer; he courageously battled Cancer until the age of twenty on April 28, 2007 he died of complications of the disease.
After Sean died, his twenty three year old brother Jessie; started The Sean Hanna Foundation and applied to Medical school to both honor his brother’s life and to help other children fighting cancer. Dr. Hanna is currently doing his residency at Mt. Sinai.
The Sean Hanna Foundation provides a comprehensive support network to families battling cancer. We organize and provide support services ranging from social workers to accountants. We provide financial support for medical treatment related expenses such as rent or travel. We provide undergraduate scholarships to patients and their siblings who, like Sean, live their lives to the fullest despite dealing with a serious chronic illness. We also provide bereavement funds and support in the tragic event that a child does pass away from cancer or its complications. All proceeds will go to support our mission.
