The Patrick S. Barrett Foundation supports Riley Hospital for Children through the PS We Love You Fund and the Patrick S. Barrett Endowment. All fundraising efforts go toward childhood cancer research at Riley. Barrett sadly lost his battle with childhood cancer, but his dream to help others in the same fight lives on through the foundation.
