SebastianStrong Foundation

SebastianStrong Foundation, based in Miami, Florida, is a registered 501(c)(3) charity that honors the life of Sebastian Ortiz (2000-2016) by increasing awareness of childhood cancer and raising money to fund research for less toxic, more targeted childhood cancer cures. This mission was born from the example of strength set forth by Sebs during his courageous 14-month battle with rhabdomyosarcoma. Since his passing in December 2016, the Foundation bearing his name has bolstered the support of donors from across the country.
