About Us

The Life Ring Foundation® is a nonprofit headquartered in Roanoke, VA dedicated to uplifting children & family-based organizations by throwing them a life ring in times of need. Through personal experience with their daughter’s pediatric cancer journey, Co-Founders Kelly & Jessica Woolwine have made the primary mission of the Life Ring Foundation® to be the Fighting Kids Cancer℠ campaign.

The Fighting Kids Cancer℠ campaign mission is to fund new, critical resources for the pediatric oncology & hematology program alongside partner, Carilion Clinic. Together, they aim to ensure more children & families can access top-tier care AND stay close to home.
