I Can Fly Foundation




The I Can Fly Foundation is a non-profit organization committed to the improved care and quality of life for children with neuroblastoma. It is privately supported through donations from individuals and businesses that recognize the urgent need to help children and their families throughout such difficult times.

The foundation was founded with the mission to provide a dose of happiness for St. Louis area children with neuroblastoma cancer and their families during cancer treatment. The founders of the I Can Fly Foundation, Howard and Margot Malloy, were personally affected by neuroblastoma.

In 1997, their son Patrick was diagnosed with this terrible disease. He was three years old at the time of diagnosis. Patrick died in June, 2000. This horrible tragedy has made everyone involved even more dedicated. We work hard to raise money for families with seriously ill children. The foundation has several contacts throughout St. Louis associated with the cancer treatment centers in the area. It is through these contacts that the foundation is put in contact
with families who are now facing what the Malloy’s faced with Patrick. That is where the I Can Fly Foundation can help those families as the Malloy’s were helped when they needed it most.
