About us

2023 marks Harrington Cancer and Health Foundation’s tenth year of serving Amarillo and the surrounding communities.
Since inception, over $22,000,000 has been given to assist individuals and area non-profits.

“Thanks to the vision of our founders and support of our donors, cancer survivors in our community will have resources to battle cancer in perpetuity. Our goal in celebrating our 10-year anniversary is to raise awareness.  It is our hope for every cancer survivor in our area to know about the Harrington Cancer and Health Foundation and the free resources we have to help them on their journey. Cancer survivors have unique needs and we are here to meet them.”

About us

Who we are

The Harrington Cancer and Health Foundation was established January 2, 2013, with $40 million in proceeds from the sale of the BSA Health System and The Don & Sybil Harrington Cancer Center. Additionally, initial funds came from assets of the BSA Foundation and The Don & Sybil Harrington Cancer Center.

As the successor to the BSA Foundation and The Don & Sybil Harrington Cancer Center, Harrington Cancer and Health Foundation carries a legacy that involves decades of support from people throughout the region. We value the opportunity to continue the work started by our predecessors and continue to build on their hopes to make our community better.
