Celebrating Dax: A Birthday Filled with Love, Hope, and His Lasting Legacy.
February 8 is Dax’s birthday, and it’s such a special day for our family. What better way to celebrate than by officially launching The Dax Blattner Foundation! As Dax’s parents, we look forward to honoring him and carrying forward his legacy through this work.
The Dax Blattner Foundation is dedicated to supporting families with medically complex children in the rare disease community and families in the NICU, bringing comfort, relief, and hope during the challenging early days from hospital to home. We focus on helping parents find the right resources at the right time, because we believe parents are the best advocates for their children—no one knows them better. Your donation helps drive our mission and gets us started on this journey to make a meaningful difference. Every gift brings care and support to families who need it most, and together, we can honor Dax’s legacy by empowering families when they need it most.
