About the Nonprofit
The Mighty Millie Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, founded in honor of Millie Mracek, the joyful, brave, world-changing daughter of a family whose world was forever changed after a valiant fight with pediatric cancer. It is our mission to bring community together to create awareness, funding, resources, and research to fight childhood cancer. We believe that a family should never hear the words, “we are out of options.” We believe in creating small moments of big joy in honor of Millie. We started the Mighty Millie Popsicle Project, which provides popsicles to pediatric cancer hospitals, as a way to create moments of joy for the most deserving children on the planet. Over the last year, we have donated over 14,000 popsicles and are located in ten pediatric cancer centers across the southeastern US.
Together, forever, we fight childhood cancer. For more information — visit mightymillie.org or follow @mightymillie on Instagram.
