Mission
The MaDee Project provides support to pediatric cancer patients and their families in the Staunton, Augusta County, and Waynesboro regions of Virginia.
History
The MaDee Project was established in October 2010 in memory of MaDee Nicole Boxler. MaDee battled pediatric cancer from 2008-2010; it was her strong spirit while battling this disease that became the inspiration of this project. If MaDee were physically here with us today, she would be holding children under her wing, teaching, guiding and comforting them, especially those diagnosed with cancer. This project is our way of showing the community, MaDee’s legacy continues. She lives on…providing the children and their family with hope, help, and healing.
