Who We Are
In June of 2006, Mary and Jeff Turnbaugh’s 2 year old son Connor was diagnosed with Leukemia AML. Connor received six months of inpatient chemotherapy at the Vermont Children’s Hospital, finishing in November 2006.
He responded well to the treatment and is now an active, healthy little boy.
Through their experience and the time spent at the Vermont Children’s Hospital, Mary and Jeff became aware of the financial strain that a family can endure while struggling with pediatric cancer. In hearing the many stories of hardship, they knew they wanted to do something to help. It was this reason the Connor B. Turnbaugh Foundation was established.
Our Mission
The mission of the Connor B. Turnbaugh Foundation is to provide financial support to Vermont families that have a child inflicted with a pediatric cancer. The Foundation’s goal is to provide a pathway for which Vermont families and businesses can lend financial assistance to their fellow Vermonter’s in a time of need.
