Giving out smiles!

GCH Hero Foundation, Inc
(Garett C. Hall)

The GCH Hero Foundation, Inc. was created to provide lasting family memories through art, photographs and day trips with family and friends and many other things, all of which are provided at no cost to the families of these amazing children. We also provide “smile boxes“ filled with comfort  items for children while in the hospital. We can also mail a smile box if needed.

The GCH Hero Foundation, Inc is in remembrance of Garett “Hero” Hall.  Garett was diagnosed in May 2010 with Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma (DIPG). He was 4 years old when diagnosed, and with a life expectancy of 6 months to 18 months, Garett went through 45 rounds of radiation. 
During Garett’s fight, his love for art, trips to the Beach, zoo, aquarium, fire stations, police stations, shopping, children's museum and many other places helped keep him busy and provided lasting memories for us, his family. These things would not have been possible without donations from family and friends. Garett’s love for life and huge smile inspired many people. Garett was a true hero with a servants heart. He wanted to be a soldier, firefighter, and peace officer when he grew up. Some of his greatest accomplishments included playing baseball and the great opportunity to be a Boy Scout. Sadly Garett passed away on June 23, 2011.  From this tragic loss came the The GCH Hero Foundation, Inc whose goal is to provide families of terminally ill and special needs children with these same types of memories. If you would like to help here’s how. Please call, email or text, we are looking for donations and volunteers. Don’t forget to follow us on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram
