Who We Are


Gulf Coast Wings of Hope, Inc. was incorporated on December 22, 2004 as a non-profit organization. We are designed to assist the families of children with blood and cancer diseases by giving emotional support, education, and acting as advocates for improved care for the patients. Gulf Coast Wings of Hope, Inc. has been setup to better serve the Pensacola and surrounding areas in any way possible.



Mission Statement


To support families of children with all types of cancers and blood diseases by building permanent charitable capital and providing services and educational opportunities that contribute to the health and vitality of the patients, siblings, and parents affiliated with the Gulf Coast Wings of Hope community.




Gulf Coast Wings of Hope, Inc. was incorporated on December 22, 2004 as a non-profit organization. We are designed to assist the families of children with blood and cancer diseases as follows:

  • Giving emotional support through group activities and family fun events designed to network families together that are dealing with similar challenges.
  • Encouraging improved care for pediatric patients through our Annual Nurse Award program as well as extending education opportunities to caregivers when possible.
  • Providing finanicial help in times of bereavement and traveling expenses due to long-distance treatment.

Gulf Coast Wings of Hope, Inc. has been setup to better serve the Pensacola and surrounding areas in any way possible. It is our hope to increase our benefits to our families as funds are raised.


We believe that cancer and blood disorders do not just affect the patient, but the whole family unit. Because of this belief, we include the patient, parents and siblilngs in our events so that all members of the family unit can meet others with similar challenges and hopefully find a support network.



What We Do


  • We Act as a fundraising and disbursement vehicle, providing coordination and administrative support for fundraising activities. These activities are directed toward education, counseling and other related humanitarian activities for Gulf Coast Wings of Hope patients, caregivers, and the families of pediatric blood and cancer disorder patients.
  • We extend emotional support to the families and caregivers of pediatric blood and cancer disorder patients.
  • We educate and train lay and professional caregivers of pediatric blood and cancer disorder patients.
  • We act as an advocate for improved care for pediatric blood and cancer disorder patients and caregivers, both in the home environment and in care facilities.

Due to the current privacy laws, it is often difficult for the patients and their families to meet others who are going through the same trying experiences that they are. Gulf Coast Wings Of Hope tries to provide these families numerous opportunities to meet each other in fun settings designed for every member of the family. Through these events, families get the opportunity to network and meet other families, while hopefully gathering information and support from those who are going through a similar journey, and having fun at the same time.


These events include our "Waves of Fun," "Family Fun Day," "Christmas Party," etc. Check to see when our next event is on our event schedule. You can also see photos of our past events in our photo gallery.
