Our Mission

Flashes of Hope is a nonprofit organization that changes the way children with cancer and other life threatening illnesses see themselves through the gift of photography and raises money for pediatric cancer research.

The portraits, taken by award-winning photographers, help children feel better about their changing appearance by celebrating it. For families of terminally ill children, it's especially important to have a portrait that preserves forever the beauty, grace and dignity of their child.

Founded by a 9-year old cancer patient, our new program Kick It raises money for research through kickball games. 100% of the proceeds fund pediatric, adolescent and young adult cancer research. For more information, please visit www.kick-it.org.

Our goal is to photograph every child until every child is cured.

Hair loss due to chemotherapy can be difficult for kids, especially girls. We love watching the children feel confident and beautiful without hair. Pictured here is a young patient and her wig, at Phoenix Children's Hospital.
