Beyond Alex Foundation · Racine, Wisconsin
One Life. Endless Impact.
A quiet promise to every child who hears the word “cancer” for the first time.
Our purpose
Care from the very first day.
Beyond Alex exists to walk beside children and families from the moment of diagnosis, offering comfort, distraction, encouragement, and practical support when the ground feels unsteady.
Our first program, Alex Boxes, is a personalized box of hope for children newly diagnosed with cancer. Each is filled with age-appropriate moments of comfort, play, and ownership.
Something entirely theirs
Small, thoughtful items chosen for the child alone: an encouragement bracelet, a journal, fuzzy socks, and more.
Practical support
Essentials such as a blanket, charging cables, toiletries, and other helpful comforts for hospital stays.
“A box that says: this is still yours, this is still play, this is still childhood.”The idea behind every Alex Box
Launching with purpose
A community can change the beginning of the journey.
On September 1, 2026, Beyond Alex officially begins providing Alex Boxes to children newly diagnosed with cancer.
