Spencer

Aug. 2000 Spencer and his family found out he had Rhabdomyosarcoma, he was only 15 months old. Spencer has had 2 relapes since 2001 with the removal of his left lung and two ribs. In Aug. 2007 after years of chemo and various other treatments the Griffin family was blessed with good news that Spencer's CT scans were clear and have been that way since. We pray they stay that way. Spencer has 2 sisters, Marleigh and Kendall. The entire family is very active in sports, the girls with cheerleading. Spencer loves baseball and was chosen to play for the Allstars and happens to be a great hitter. SLAM IT, HOME RUN KING!!!! Spencer is now 9 years old.

Over Thanksgiving Spencer and his family discovered that he had another relape (inoperable). Please keep Spencer and his family in your thoughts and prayers.

About Us

About Us

In 1998 a police sergeant, now retired Donnie Dixon recognized a need and was compelled to help several children who suffered from terminal illnesses or debilitating injuries as a result of tragic accidents. Not realizing the magnitude of the journey he was about to embark upon, he organized a golf tournament raising money to assist these families. 

Community and business support was solicited along with coordination of other events that helped  provide support to these families to cope with the financial burden and horrifying news of their children’s fate.   

If asked, all involved with our mission will tell you...“It’s all about the kids and Hometown Heroes would not be what it is today without every individual or business that volunteers, contributes and supports our mission."

  1. 2004 Hometown Heroes became a 501(C)3 tax exempt organization.
