The Butterfly Fund represents the legacy of Emily Barger and Maddie Harrill, two beautiful little girls that were diagnosed with a rare form of pediatric cancer in 2007 and who both passed away in 2008. The Butterfly Fund was established through East Tennessee Foundation with the objective of raising support and awareness for pediatric cancer treatment, services, and research at a local, regional, and national level. Local support is directed to East Tennessee Children’s Hospital as they represent the only pediatric cancer facility in East Tennessee.
