Helping in the fight against childhood cancers and brain tumors since 2002.

The Michael J. Dunleavy Foundation is a 501(c)(3) public charity founded in 2002 that funds research, supports families, and brings community together through Tee It Up for the Cure and other fundraising efforts.

Legacy & Lasting Impact

The Michael J. Dunleavy Foundation, Inc. was established in 2002 in loving memory of Michael James Dunleavy, who bravely faced an inoperable tumor at just eight years old. Even during his illness, Michael expressed a wish that other children might be spared the suffering he endured. That wish became the inspiration for this foundation.
