Mystic Force Foundation

The Mystic Force Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to raising awareness and funding for childhood cancer research, with a specific emphasis on neuroblastoma. Established in 2008 by Silvia Vanni in memory of her son, the foundation aims to bridge the funding gap for pediatric oncology to develop more effective and less toxic treatments. The organization actively supports clinical trials and research initiatives at leading institutions such as the University of Miami and Nicklaus Children's Hospital. Beyond research, the foundation provides direct support to families through its 'Heroes Hangout' center, a dedicated space for children battling cancer to play and find community. Through advocacy and community events, the Mystic Force Foundation works to ensure that childhood cancer becomes a national priority.
