What Is the Dylan Project?

Turning Compassion Into Action

The Dylan Project is a Massachusetts–based nonprofit bringing joy to families affected by childhood cancer. Founded in honor of Dylan, a young boy whose courage continues to inspire, the project delivers gifts and creates special moments for children and their siblings throughout the year — ensuring no child feels forgotten during the toughest times.

Through toy drives, holiday deliveries, and community support, The Dylan Project has brightened the lives of hundreds of families across Massachusetts and beyond.
