Our Mission:
The Olivia Caldwell Foundation is a 501c3 nonprofit that was founded by Brett Caldwell and Katie Caldwell-Burchett in November 2013 to honor the life of their daughter, Olivia Caldwell, who passed away after a 16-month battle with brain cancer in October 2013. She was only 20 months old. Our mission is to fund life-saving pediatric cancer research and programs to improve the lives of children battling and other serious diseases in Wyoming and surrounding areas.

Our Vision:
The vision of Olivia Caldwell Foundation is to:
The vision of Olivia Caldwell Foundation is to:
- Fund life-saving research to find a cure for pediatric brain cancer and other childhood cancers. We will do this by funding specific research teams to cut down on the amount of time they have to spend fighting for grant money.
- Cut down on the travel necessary for children with complicated medical conditions in the state of Wyoming. We will do this by funding the Children's Hospital Colorado/CU School of Medicine Outreach Clinic in Casper, WY. The clinic will host pediatric specialists on a monthly basis from Children's Hospital Colorado in Aurora to see Wyoming patients closer to where they live. The specialists holding clinics will include cardiologists, endocrinologists, pulmonologists, neurologists, and gastroenterologists. The clinic will also be a hub for tele-health visits in between scheduled specialty clinics.
- Raise awareness of the need for pediatric cancer research and the prevalence of childhood cancer in our society.
- Give gift cards for food, entertainment, gas and other miscellaneous expenses to children battling cancer at Children's Hospital Colorado. This gift card distribution occurs each May thanks to a continued partnership with Highland Park Community Church.
