Support Joseph's Sidekicks

Joseph’s Sidekicks FUND

Since 2020, Joseph’s Sidekicks has proudly partnered with the MUSC Foundation to fund a dedicated child psychologist on the Hematology/Oncology floor at Shawn Jenkins Children’s Hospital. Thanks to the extraordinary generosity of our supporters, more than $350,000 has been raised over the past five years. Because of that generosity, children and families facing pediatric cancer will continue to receive critical emotional and psychological support for years to come.

As Joseph’s journey evolved, so did our vision.

On July 1, 2026, the Dennard family established the Joseph’s Sidekicks Fund at the Coastal Community Foundation to expand our mission beyond the walls of the hospital. While our commitment to supporting the child psychologist at MUSC remains unchanged, this new fund allows us to make an even greater impact by investing in three core pillars that were inspired by Joseph’s life and the lessons he taught us:

• Research – Supporting innovative pediatric cancer research and advancing treatments that bring us closer to a cure.
• Family Support – Providing financial, emotional, and practical assistance to families navigating the unimaginable challenges of childhood cancer.
• Education – Raising awareness, sharing resources, and empowering families, caregivers, and communities with knowledge and hope.

Every donation made to the Joseph’s Sidekicks Fund at the Coastal Community Foundation will be thoughtfully stewarded by the Dennard family and directed exclusively toward these three pillars, ensuring each gift creates meaningful and lasting impact.

Thank you for standing beside us. Your generosity honors Joseph’s legacy and brings hope to children and families who need it most. Together, we can accelerate the search for cures, ease the burden on families, and ensure that no child faces cancer alone.

Together, we are all Joseph’s Sidekicks.

Joseph’s Sidekicks Fund supports children and families impacted by pediatric brain cancer through three core areas: advancing pediatric cancer research, providing critical support to families, and offering education and financial assistance to patients and their loved ones.
