Go Gold for Kids Fighting Cancer
This September, stand with children and families facing childhood cancer right here in our community. Together, we can raise awareness, bring hope, and remind every family they are never alone.
Our Mission: Support and Surround with Care
As the Strongman Luca James Foundation continues to grow, so does our mission. Beyond financial assistance, we are committed to creating meaningful support systems for the entire family journey through childhood cancer. From therapy resources and sibling support to opportunities for connection, healing, and restorative retreats for moms and caregivers, we strive to remind families they are never alone. Our goal is to build a community rooted in compassion, understanding, and hope — one that continues long after treatment ends.
Nominate a family

Give Hope to a Child
Donations fuel everything we do, from helping cover everyday expenses to surrounding families with comfort and care. With your support, we can reach more children and bring strength to more families in need.

At just ten years old, Ava Westbury is bravely facing a diagnosis of B-cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia, meeting every challenge with courage and an inspiring smile. With the support of the Strongman Luca James Foundation and our community, her family is reminded they don’t walk this road alone.
Our Partners
Our partners make it possible to turn compassion into action. Their generosity fuels our mission and brings hope to families facing childhood cancer. Together, we’re building a lasting impact, and there’s always room at the table for more.
