Hero Program Mission
Our mission is:
The Hero Program provides financial, educational, and emotional support to terminally ill children and their families. We don’t measure our work in terms of success, but in terms of significance. The difference is the emotional connection and the relationships we maintain with our Hero Families. These relationships allow us to get at the heart of our Heroes’ needs and to provide support for their every-day challenges.

Our vision is:
Provide innovative services that will bring a smile to the faces of each family we serve and offer much needed diversions from their physical suffering for a few seconds, minutes or possibly hours.

Our team:
Steve Wetzel - Executive Director of Hero Program
Brooks Canavesi - Chief Operating Officer of Hero Program
Jeannene Willow - Regional Director (Erie, PA)
Frontline Initiative, Inc. - Support & Infrastructure
Volunteers and supporters like you!
