Jim and Sue Spierings, from Little Chute, Wisconsin, created the foundation in 2009. After Jim won his battle with throat cancer, they decided to give back to the community who supported him during his battle.
Over the past 9 years, the foundation has raised just over $935,000 to support its mission of helping people affected by cancer, including over 350 local families.
