About Us

Background

Sunrise Skies was founded in the wake of a cancer diagnosis of a four-year-old. The treatment regimen that followed was a rollercoaster for her family, and the love, support, generosity, and care from around the world kept her family moving forward. It was that support that was also the inspiration for creating the Foundation as a way of giving back, paying forward the brightness offered to their family throughout their daughter's journey.

Sunrise Skies is a 501(c)(3) public charity, a Delaware Corporation. The Foundation's inaugural event, the Swim for Corinne started with a goal of raising $100,000 for the Pediatric Surgical Oncology Lab at Texas Children's Hospital. Dr. Vasudevan, who runs the lab, was their daughter's surgeon and one of the first of many to provide hope in the early days of their daughter's diagnosis.

Sunrise Skies Foundation

Sunrise Skies was founded in 2025 to bring people together to make the world a bit brighter. The organization's mission is to raise awareness and funds for pediatric cancer research, to support families during times of medical crisis and loss, and to encourage communities to make the world a little brighter.

Inspired by the love and kindness of so many throughout a battle with pediatric cancer, the Foundation was founded to find ways to serve, paying forward acts of kindness.
