At Grey's Superhero Foundation, Inc., our mission is to provide pediatric cancer patients with the added support of a donated cancer-fighting Frenchie companion to help them through treatment, recovery, and remission.
Grey's Superhero Foundation, Inc. started in 2021 when, at age 12, Greyson Pacifico was diagnosed with an aggressive form of brain cancer called Embryonal Brain Cancer, NOS. With the help of GoFundMe supporters, Greyson purchased a Frenchie named Chip within a month of diagnosis, giving him the added support of a loving animal to get him through treatment, recovery, and remission.
Chip was such an important part of Greyson's treatment that he and our family wanted to pay it forward and donate Frenchies to support pediatric cancer patients in the same way that Greyson was supported.
We established Grey's Superhero Foundation, Inc. and our breeding business, Superhero French Bulldogs, LLC, to fulfill our mission. Through our business, we donate as many Frenchies as we can to Grey's Superhero Foundation along with 5% of all sales, which goes to training and supplies for our donated puppies (see: https://superherofrenchbulldogs.com/)
Since January 2024, we have donated two Frenchies, supplies, and in-house week-long puppy training to two superheroes fighting pediatric cancer- Zoee and Joey.
In 2025, we will seek community and grant support to provide more puppies and supplies than we can alone. We aim to provide 6 Frenchies (and training and supplies) with the support and begin our visitation program at the local hospitals. Even with the added support, we will continue to donate Frenchies and 5% of all sales to our mission from Superhero French Bulldogs.

Grey's Superhero Foundation donates cancer-fighting Frenchie companions, training, and supplies to Superheroes fighting pediatric cancer.
We look forward to providing inspirational Frenchie visits, Frenchie stuffed animals, and other programs at Wolfson Children's Hospital, Nemours, and the UF Proton Therapy Institute in the near future.
Dear Followers and Supporters,
As we near the end of 2024, we want to update you on how things have gone for our first year as a non-profit and give you our outlook for 2025.
Our non-profit, Grey's Superhero Foundation, Inc., donates Frenchies, supplies, and training to Superheroes fighting pediatric cancer. We do this via our business, Superhero French Bulldogs, LLC, through which we donate the Frenchies ourselves and 5% of all sales to the foundation for supplies and training for the donated pups.
This year, for our first year as a non-profit, we donated two puppies, two sets of supplies, and two week-long in-house trainings for our donated pups. Superhero French Bulldogs, LLC donated the two puppies, and the supplies and training were donated thanks to 5% of sales from our puppy buyers. This year, we may donate three puppies- we will find out the first week of October when we discover if our mama, Tatertot "Supergirl," is pregnant. If the litter is big enough, we will have a holiday puppy donation for a very lucky Superhero in Northeast Florida (plus supplies and training). Announcement coming soon!
We expected to donate six puppies, six sets of supplies, and six trainings this year but fell short. This was due to the high cost of Frenchie breeding with small litters, unforeseen expenses, and some unexpected circumstances. As a result, we have yet to break even on profit for the business and are still in the negative. That said, the first two years of any business tend to be rocky, so we are not alone in our struggle. We promise not to give up because we have a mission to serve the pediatric cancer community.
Our goal for Grey's Superhero Foundation, Inc. for 2025 is to donate six puppies, six sets of supplies, six trainings, and additional hospital visitation programs. For those programs, we will visit pediatric cancer patients with Chip and another more snuggly Frenchie, where Grey will mentor and inspire them to keep fighting, show them what Chip's training taught him, let them snuggle a Frenchie, provide stuffed Frenchies to keep, and other ideas still in the works.
To do this in 2025, we will seek grant support and open our donation portal to accept outside donations from the community for the first time. We have shown everyone what we can do and now know we cannot go as far as we want without the community's support and grant funding.
By the end of this year, Superhero French Bulldogs, LLC will have donated approximately $20,000 to $30,000 worth of puppies, supplies, training, and related costs to the pediatric cancer community via Grey's Superhero Foundation, Inc. We expect to donate $80,000 to $100,000 of puppies, supplies, training, related costs, and programs next year with grants and community support. Even with grant and community donations in 2025, Superhero French Bulldogs, LLC will continue to donate as many Frenchies as possible and 5% of all sales to our non-profit, Grey's Superhero Foundation Inc.
We are very proud of our foundation's accomplishments this year. Zoee Foster and Joey Walton, our first two Superheroes, are both thriving with their "Cancer Support" Frenchies by their sides. We look forward to how much more we can do with the added support in 2025!
We want to end this letter by expressing our immense gratitude for those who contributed to our success this year.
We first want to thank those who donated to the GoFundMe that started it all- the GoFundMe to raise money so Grey could get his "Cancer Support" Frenchie Chip in 2021. We are convinced that along with his medical team, Chip was a huge part of his ability to fight brain cancer, recover as well as he has, or even recover at all. Fast forward to now, and we are on the other side, helping others like he was helped. We proudly pay your good deed forward and will continue to do so.
We would also like to thank everyone who donated to our GoFundMe to purchase our first Mama, Baby in 2022, which allowed this dream to come alive.
I personally want to thank the board members of Grey's Superhero Foundation Inc., who hold the dream and have my back as I navigate the twists and turns associated with taking on an endeavor of this magnitude. They keep me afloat, protect my interests, keep me on my toes, and prevent me from going bankrupt due to wanting to donate every puppy we have to the pediatric cancer community. Kathie Wait, Michael Landis, and Alex Frisosky, you are the solid ground I stand on, helping me tether our dream to reality.
