Donor Stories

Becky and Curtis Long established the Long Family Endowment for Pediatric Oncology Care. But their story, and their connection to Children’s Mercy, started long ago. Since 2015, the Longs have been creating craft kits for patients.

Throughout their time as a patient family at Children’s Mercy, Planned Giving Council members, Terrence and Diane Gallagher, made friends and connections with volunteers, clinical staff, and administrative staff, and both became involved beyond being the parents of a patient.
