Notice to Our Community
The Sassy Carmen Foundation is currently in the process of winding down operations during 2026.
For many years, our organization has been fully volunteer-run, and every dollar donated has gone directly to helping children with cancer and their families.
We are deeply grateful to the families, donors, volunteers, and writers who supported our mission and helped bring comfort, support, and awareness to children facing cancer.
No additional updates will be shared as we complete the process of closing the organization. Bloggers, feel free to take your article content before this site is closed.
With gratitude,
Laura Thomas – CEO & Co-Founder
Naomi Carmen – President & Co-Founder
