Our Why
The ChristyCares Foundation was created to honor the life, love, and legacy of Christy VonAllmen—a mom, sister, daughter, wife, friend, librarian, and light to so many.
Christy had a way of making people feel seen and cared for. Her smile, kindness, and compassion touched everyone she met—students, family, friends, and even strangers. She showed up for others with grace and love, always thinking of how she could help.
Christy’s final wishes were simple, yet powerful:
to care for her children—and to help other moms get the care they deserve.
Moms so often put themselves last.
Christy’s cancer journey was rare and aggressive—melanoma that impacted her breast and became metastatic. She passed away at just 40 years old, a heartbreaking reminder of how quickly life can change for moms and families.
Even as a freshman at Ursuline Academy, Christy’s compassionate heart shined through. In a school assignment, she wrote that one of her life goals was “to help fewer # of deaths of young people.” That caring spirit stayed with her throughout her life—and now, through ChristyCares, we carry it forward in her honor.
Our Mission
Each year, proceeds from the Annual ChristyCares Euchre Tournament and other fundraising efforts support moms (and families) navigating cancer—those balancing treatment, family, work, and life, often without time or space to care for themselves.
Through ChristyCares, we provide meaningful support that may include:
Wellness and self-care support (such as yoga and memberships) for those impacted by cancer
Partnerships with other foundations to gift moments of joy and connection to families during difficult seasons
Grief yoga and wellness offerings for those experiencing loss or navigating the emotional weight of diagnosis and treatment
Every act of support is rooted in Christy’s belief that moms deserve to feel supported, cared for, and never alone.
Why it Matters
Cancer doesn’t just affect one person—it impacts entire families.
ChristyCares exists to ease burdens, create moments of care, and remind moms that they matter too.
By supporting this foundation, you help continue Christy VonAllmen’s legacy of compassion, love, and service—while lifting up moms who need it most.
Because moms deserve care too.
