With grace, charm, and kindness, Ella once silenced a room at a congressional gathering in DC as she bravely raised awareness about the devastating reality of brain cancer in our nation’s children.

Happy Heavenly Birthday, beautiful Ella. You are deeply missed by everyone who had the privilege of meeting you. We hope you’re celebrating today alongside Carson and shining that same light in Heaven. 💛

As the nation turns its eyes to the court for , we're looking at the court that means the world to us. Before his diagnosis, Carson was a dedicated athlete and a kid who lived and breathed the competition of the game.🏀⚾🏈

Today, the Carson Leslie Center at The Covenant School stands as a first-class gym where students gather to play, compete, and build community. It's a reminder of Carson's indomitable spirit and a place where his love for sports lives on.

This March, we're cheering for the kids and teens in the fight. Click the link in our bio to find out more about Carson and our mission.

This , we're celebrating a woman who turned a last whispered wish into a movement.

After 15 years of relentless service, co-founder Annette Leslie announced her retirement at the end of March. Over the past year, she has been thoughtfully working behind the scenes to prepare the foundation for this transition and ensure the mission continues to grow.

From the halls of the Texas Capitol & Congressional Childhood Cancer Caucus to the cutting-edge research projects to caring for the kids and families in the fight, Annette's leadership has helped bridge the gap between grieving families and life-saving research.

Annette, THANK YOU feels small for the legacy you've built, but the lives you've impacted speak volumes. While we'll miss you, we are excited for the next chapter of the foundation and the mission to continue forward.

Enjoy the beach, see you at events, and thank you again! 🌊💛

Research is expensive, and policy is powerful. 🏛️📢 That's why the Carson Leslie Foundation is a presence at the Capitol, working with leaders to keep childhood cancer research at the forefront of the legislative agenda. From advocating for funding to bridging the gap between researchers and lawmakers, we help be the voice for the kids who can't be there themselves.

At CLF, we know that kids in the battle need more than just medicine; they need to feel seen and supported. Our curated Under Armour Jordan Spieth backpacks are designed specifically for teens, providing a sense of "cool" and comfort during long hospital stays. 🎒💛

What if we could stop Medulloblastoma before it starts? The hard, cold truth: Children don’t develop medulloblastoma after birth; they are born with it.

As a part of the CureKids Collaborative, we are on a mission of change. Dr. Michael Taylor is working to develop a biomarker that can detect medulloblastoma with a single drop of blood at a 6-month we’ll baby checkup, allowing for early detection and simple, life-saving intervention.

We need your help to make this a reality. Kids and teens currently battling medulloblastoma can participate in a blood study using a painless, home-based kit from ORyan Therapeutics

Medulloblastoma is the most common brain tumor in children, yet it remains clinically understudied.

At the Carson Leslie Foundation, we don't think "common" should mean "overlooked." Through our initiative, we are funding the specific research needed to change the outcome for these kids. 🧠🎗️Help us fund the next breakthrough.

One week later, and we’re still riding high from DPR Construction 10th Annual Hoot & Holler! 🎶 What a night where Corey Kent and Stoney LaRue had 3,000+ guests singing loud and proud two-stepping all night.

Thank you to everyone who joined us and to DPR’s incredible sponsors for making it all possible. Because of you, DPR raised big bucks for Children's Heath Dallas and the Carson Leslie Foundation.

We’re so grateful for tis amazing community🤠✨
