The Dragonfly Foundation

The Dragonfly Foundation was founded in 2010 by Christine Neitzke when her ten-year-old son Matt was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s Lymphoma. Fortunately, Christine, Jim, Matt, and Sam, who was 12 at the time, had the support of family, friends, and the community. Many other inpatients/families were not as fortunate Stunned at the lack of support many of their peer families fighting cancer had, Christine was moved to create Dragonfly with the intention of providing anything a pediatric cancer family needs and placing the family’s well-being at the center of all that it does.

Today, Matt is cancer-free, and Dragonfly has grown to help over 7,800 patients and families.
