Miracles of Mitch:
The Mission is to provide support to families of children with cancer. The
Miracles of Mitch are the daily good works inspired by 9-year-old Mitch
Chepokas to help the families of children battling cancer in Minnesota.
Sealed with a pinky swear between Mitch and his father, Steve, The Miracles
of Mitch Foundation (MOMF) was created to honor Mitch's desire to support
these families during a stressful time in their lives.

Since its inception in 2003, The Miracles of Mitch Foundation has
provided financial and quality-of-life assistance to hundreds of pediatric
cancer families. The foundation operates as though "time is of the essence"
because, in most cases, it is.  Read more on The Miracles of Mitch
