SON Foundation

What an amazing way to start the week. Thank you Addison Times and Kristiaan Rawlings for the beautiful article featuring the SON Foundation. We are truly in awe and so very grateful for the love and care that went into sharing our story.

And if you’re not a subscriber, I highly recommend it! Dr. Rawlings is not only the editor, but also a Shelbyville High School yearbook and broadcast teacher with such a special gift for storytelling.

We feel so honored by this featured piece and thankful for every person who helps us continue spreading SON’s mission throughout our community.

SON Foundation Gala Help SON Foundation, Inc. spread the word about SONsational Gala 2026!

Still trying to find the words after last night… 💫

Standing on that stage, looking out at a room full of people who showed up with open hearts and incredible generosity; it’s something I’ll never forget.

The SONsational Gala benefiting the SON Foundation is so much more than an event. It’s a promise that no cancer patient has to walk through their journey alone, and last night, you all showed exactly what that promise looks like in action.

Thank you to everyone who attended, supported, gave, volunteered, and believed in this mission. You made it unforgettable.

And to our dearest Tiffany… we felt you in every detail. I hope you’re smiling big today ❤️

Love, Eric Borchardt
