About us
Hello friend,
LeAnn’s Legacy is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to supporting those undergoing cancer treatment by providing essentials and gift cards to ease their financial burdens.
Founded in honor of LeAnn (Schroeder) Hardiek, who bravely battled Triple Negative BRCA1 Breast Cancer, our organization carries forward her mission. LeAnn, a young single mother, inspired our community with her strength and generosity. After receiving overwhelming support, she initiated the Bras for a Cause fundraiser, raising thousands for others facing similar challenges. Three years later, she passed away, leaving behind a legacy of compassion.
Today, LeAnn’s Legacy, led by her sons Aiden and Will, her mother Barb Starwalt, and dear friends, continues to expand its reach. We support the Crossroads Cancer Center in Effingham, the Sarah Bush Regional Cancer Center, and many individuals across surrounding counties.
Thank you for your interest.
Sincerely,
Barb Starwalt
President, LeAnn’s Legacy
