WHAT'S THE RUSH?
HELP US ENCOURAGE CHILDHOOD CANCER SUPERHEROES & ADVOCATE FOR A CURE
Gold Rush Cure Foundation brings hope and encouragement to children fighting cancer through our Pot of Gold Program and advocacy for better treatments for our heroes.
Our network of volunteers and team leaders support children’s hospitals and care teams by providing gift deliveries for children and teens when they need it most during their treatment. It is our mission to bring smiles, hope, encouragement and create memories through the Pot of Gold experience.
We like to say "Not one more child, not one more family!" but until that's true, we are here to support our heroes.

MEET OUR FOUNDING HERO
CHRISTIAN BARKER
They say our true colors are revealed when we face adversity. Christian showed us his true colors through his incredible courage, determination, respect, compassion for others, and faithfulness in God. His quiet and sweet nature spoke volumes.
I hope he can see how his life and legacy have impacted so many people. He is the driving force behind so much of what we do.

MAKING A DIFFERENCE
WHAT'S THE RUSH?
What started as a simple idea based on Christian Barker’s treatment journey became a fast growing and personalized outreach for children fighting cancer.
We seek out the partnerships with the care teams and time our Pot of Gold delivery based on what the child or teen is going through.
It is our mission to make a difference, create a powerful memory and most importantly – encourage.
