OUR MISSION
Our mission is to raise awareness and to fund research and trials to find a cure for Ewing Sarcoma, and to bring sunshine to children and families living with childhood cancer.
Welcome to The Eli Morrison Sunshine Fund, where we find inspiration in the enduring spirit of a magical young boy who left an indelible mark on our hearts. We are humbled and awed by the outpouring of love we’ve received from those whose lives have been impacted by Eli and his story.
Please join us in spreading Eli's radiant positivity with the world.
ACCOMPLISHMENTS
We have been overwhelmed by the love and kindness of people who have donated in Eli's name. Family, friends, business associates, schools, religious institutions, and people we do not know have been part of this growing community.
The Eli Sunshine Fund has raised over $1,700,000. More than $800,000 of this has supported research and $50,000 has funded birthday celebrations and bringing joy to children in treatment.
We hope to collaborate with similar funds and foundations that share our mission and be guided by the wisdom of our Medical Advisory Board to support cutting edge research, innovative trials, and programs that help children in treatment.
Thank you for your time, love, and support.
In July 2025, the Eli Sunshine Fund proudly presented its most recent gift, $200,000 to support a critical research project focused on Ewing Sarcoma at Dr. Tulpule’s lab at MSK. The project is called Targeting Residual Disease in Ewing Sarcoma. Eli’s brother Harry is pictured here with Dr. Tulpule and Dr. Julia Glade Bender, Eli’s doctor.
