Our Mission
The Hannah Geneser Foundation will promote childhood safety through public awareness and educational opportunities. In addition, the Hannah Geneser Foundation will help bring awareness to organ, eye and tissue donation through advocacy and outreach.
Why We Came to Be
On March 21, 2011, four-year-old Hannah Ray Geneser died in a tragic accident when a screen gave way and she fell through an open window. In response to her devastating and untimely death, the Hannah Geneser Foundation was established by her family.
The Hannah Geneser Foundation, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, was launched in 2011 to honor the memory of Hannah and to help prevent the accidental death or serious injury of other young children.
Goals and Objectives
Promote public awareness and provide educational opportunities highlighting the hidden, yet prevalent, circumstances that may lead to the unintended death or serious injury of a child
Sponsor public service announcements and provide educational materials on matters of child safety
Partner and collaborate with area companies and organizations to promote outreach activities and programs on child safety
Offer support to families coping with the loss of a child
Provide financial assistance to promote the well-being and education of children
