Our mission is to share a gift of love

The Heather Treat Memorial was started in 1994 after the death of Heather Harper-Treat, who had colon cancer that spread to her lungs and brain. She had great insurance, but the little things that were not covered by insurance (gas, hotels, bills piling from lack of work) became a great burden.

So many generous family and friends helped Heather and her husband during their difficult financial times.

After her death, donations continued — inspiring Heather’s family, along with some friends, to start the Memorial Fund to help others in Johnson County who have cancer.

Heather Treat Memorial has given $363,054.07 to Johnson County cancer patients since 1994, helping hundreds of patients.

IN 2022 THE MEMORIAL GAVE OUT $15,600.00
