Based in Chappaqua, New York, Making Headway Foundation operates within the wellness and fitness services sector as a nonprofit organization. It provides sustained support for children diagnosed with brain or spinal cord tumors and for their families, from diagnosis through treatment and beyond. The organization's program mix includes art therapy, yoga, massage, educational counseling, organized outings, and bereavement support. In addition to direct family services, the foundation funds research into pediatric central nervous system tumors. A notable development in its history is a 2018 partnership with the St. Baldrick's Foundation to support childhood cancer research. The group operates with a relatively small staff and collaborates with families and clinicians to provide a supportive environment that addresses emotional and informational needs.
