Care Beyond the Hospital: Providing Moments of Calm for Families
The Ryan Callahan Foundation provides support to families facing pediatric cancer. We step in to aid in areas of life that fall behind and often go unseen.
-
Financial Relief
Finances should be the last concern when faced with pediatric cancer. We help wherever we can.
-
Family Management Support
Life keeps moving. The fridge breaks, a tree falls. Whatever it is, we step in to help.
-
Mental Health Support
Cancer impacts the entire family. We’re here to help connect families to valuable mental health resources.
What We Do
The Ryan Callahan Foundation supports the entire family through the challenges of pediatric cancer, providing meaningful moments of respite during an incredibly difficult journey. Our programs are designed to make a tangible difference in everyday life, and we work closely with each family to understand and meet their unique needs.
Currently, the Foundation serves families throughout New York State and Florida.
Our Programs
-
The Two Four Club provides financial assistance and respite to families who inspire us every day with their resilience, hope, and determination.

The Cally’s Crew program provides a Tampa Bay Lightning suite experience for our families during the regular season. During select home games, our foundation uses this VIP experience to bring together families with similar struggles for a sense of community in the isolated world of pediatric cancer.

Cally’s Comforts provides thoughtfully curated comfort bags to support families during unexpected hospital stays. These bags offer both practical relief and emotional comfort when it’s needed most.

C.O.P.E. is led by licensed mental health therapist Robin Lutz. It’s a heartfelt program designed to provide emotional support to families at every stage of their journey.

Our Story
Founded by husband and wife Ryan & Kyla, it’s been our mission to develop a non-profit that truly meets the unique needs of families enduring the same. We see what most don’t: the bills piled up on the kitchen counter, the dog that hasn’t been walked, the leaky bathroom sink you haven’t had time to fix, the meals no one has time to make. We’re here to make sure no family faces pediatric cancer alone.
Get Involved
From our on-going programs to events and major fundraisers, there’s always a way to make an impact. The most impactful way to support our cause is to become a Moment Maker Society member by contributing just $24/month to fund our programs and resources provided to families.
Every contribution, whether it’s your time or resources, helps provide meaningful assistance to families navigating life’s toughest challenge. Together, we can make sure no one feels alone on their journey. Get in touch to learn more about how you can help the families of the Ryan Callahan Foundation.
