Our Mission & Inspiration
Our About Us is really About Others
The Gracie Foundation was inspired by Gail Germain—lovingly known as “Gracie.” Having gone through cancer treatments herself, Gracie understood the emotional weight of the journey. But she also knew how powerful a simple gesture could be.
During her treatment, she would often say, “Pretty little packages always make me smile… even on a really bad day.” That one sentence became the heart of our mission.
At The Gracie Foundation, we create and send Gracie Gifts—beautifully packaged care boxes filled with comforting, uplifting, and pampering items meant to brighten the hardest days. These gifts are sent to women currently undergoing treatment for any type of cancer, with the goal of spreading hope, strength, and positive energy.
Making it Happen
Built on Kindess
We’re a private non-profit organization, made possible by the generous support of Gracie’s husband, Bob Germain, who personally covers all costs.
Kindness, Delivered
Each Gracie Gift is more than just a package—it’s a warm hug on a hard day, a spark of joy in the middle of treatment, and a reminder that someone out there is thinking of you.
