Layla’s Legacy Foundation

Layla’s Legacy Foundation was formed after Layla Stamp passed away from pediatric brain cancer at the age of five. In honor of Layla, her family established Layla’s Legacy Foundation in 2018. Based out of Texas, Layla’s Legacy’s efforts are focused on funding innovative research and supporting families impacted by pediatric brain tumors. Layla’s Legacy also works closely with social workers at hospitals to understand specific financial needs they have. Spearheaded by Sara Stamp, Layla’s mom and executive director of Layla’s Legacy, the foundation helps and brings hope to families impacted by pediatric brain tumors across the country.
