💙 Carrying Connor’s Mission Forward 💙
​
While our next fundraiser is being planned, our hearts and hands remain busy continuing Connor’s Mission by spreading kindness, hope, and help to families and organizations in need.
​
Connor’s Mission was created in memory of a young girl whose compassion and joy inspired everyone around her. Ella's spirit lives on in every act of generosity we share, every life we touch, and every smile we help create.
​
We invite you to stay connected, get involved, and help us keep her light shining.
Follow along on Facebook at facebook.com/Connor4Ella to see the lives being changed and to join us when our next event is announced.
​
Together, we can make a difference, just like Connor has.

Why we do it?
We were touched by an Angel who fought nearly her entire life but never lost her smile or spirit. We were inspired by our son Connor who also was touched and wanted to make a difference and "change the world."
Our Hope
We hope to raise awareness for Pediatric Cancer and have a positive affect on as many children and their families as possible.
