Brenton’s Hope was inspired by Brenton J. Krouse. The 11-year-old from Bushkill Township lost his battle against T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia on June 1, 2009.
The non-profit organization was founded in April 2011. The organization -- headed by Brenton's mother, Louise -- helps raise childhood cancer awareness and funds for local families facing the hardships of a childhood cancer diagnosis.
