At the Laughlin Family Foundation, we believe that meaningful progress against rare cancer begins with bold, early-stage science. That's why we've been proud to fund research grants through the Foundation for Women's Cancer (FWC). These one-year grants are designed to give promising young investigators the resources and experience they need to launch careers that will shape the future of women's cancer treatment.

During Women’s History Month, we celebrate women whose strength, resilience, and courage inspire progress. This month, we were especially reminded of all that Linda Laughlin has been through and continues to endure. Her journey from patient to advocate has become a beacon of hope for women facing rare cancers.

2025 Giving Tuesday

At The Laughlin Family Foundation, we are committed to giving rare cancers a voice by honoring the families who walk this difficult road. Today, we are humbled to share Christian Smith’s story through the eyes of his loving family—a story of joy, resilience, and enduring love. By sharing his journey, we hope to shine a light on the realities of rare cancers and the extraordinary strength found within families like his. Our heartfelt thanks to Corinne, Christian’s mom, and their entire family for trusting us with his story.
