Casino Day for Charity at Hannah Goetz Foundation on February 28 at 10:30 AM

Hannah Grace Goetz was born on February 7, 2002. At the age of 10, she was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis, a rare lung disease that causes mucus to build up in the lungs and other organs. Hannah spent a lot of time in and out of the hospital after receiving her diagnosis but she didn’t let this stop her from filling her days with the things she loved - the beach, animals, karaoke, stuffed animals, tattoos, candy, and more. In early 2023, Hannah’s body began rejecting her new lungs, a scary reality for many individuals who have received a transplant. On July 16, 2023, Hannah passed away surrounded by her loving family and closest friends. The Hannah Goetz Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. In honor of Hannah, our mission is to provide scholarships to high school students while spreading awareness about cystic fibrosis and the importance of organ donation. We also wish to provide donations to other children and teens living with cystic fibrosis. With your help and support, we can make these goals a reality and make Hannah’s dream of spreading awareness about CF and supporting CF families. At 17 years old, Hannah fell ill with the flu, which left her lungs so damaged that a double-lung transplant was her only hope. On July 26, 2019 she received her new lungs and began a challenging recovery. After months of rehab, she was released in October. Her transplant gave her four more years to travel and create lasting memories with loved ones
