Little Eric's Foundation

September is Childhood Cancer Awareness month and Little Eric's Foundation sold gold bows throughout the month. Gold is the color associated with childhood cancer. Little Eric’s Foundation was named after 14 year old Eric Speicher Jr. who passed away on December 23, 2013, from a rare type of brain tumor.  Eric is the son of Solomon-Elementary special education teacher, Jessica Speicher.  In 2014, Little Eric’s Foundation was created by his parents in his memory.  The mission of LEF is to raise awareness of childhood cancer, fund research and financially assist children in treatment for cancers. The Foundation financially helps local families who have a child going through cancer treatment.  The Foundation has donated nearly $200,000 to children’s cancer research and families in need.
