The foundation’s name, Reflections of Grace, signifies the effect Grace Ekis had on the lives of those she touched over the course of her short life. As its mission, the Reflections of Grace Foundation is dedicated to:
- Providing financial, emotional, and educational support for children and their families affected by pediatric brain cancer.
- Raising awareness of all types of pediatric brain tumors, with a particular focus on Diffuse Instrinsic Pontine Gliomas (DIPGs), or Brainstem Gliomas
- Joining with other like-minded organizations in educating, aiding and funding the search for a cure for DIPG and other forms of pediatric brain cancer, in the hope of curing all cancers.
To ensure unlimited participation in all children's activities throughout the day, wristbands may be purchased for $10.00 with a signed waiver by a parent/guardian at the event. For online registrants—Active.com charges an additional fee of $3.95 per online registration transaction. This fee does not benefit Reflections of Grace, but rather covers the cost of Active's administrative services. For liability purposes, a waiver must be signed for each participant, regardless of age. Both adults and children will have the option to register for either:
- 5K Run (D-Tag timing technology)
- 5K Walk
- 1 Mile Walk
