Founded in 2007, the Isabella Santos Foundation was born from a mission to honor the memory of a brave little girl, Isabella Santos, who lost her life to neuroblastoma at just 7 years old. Isabella’s dreams were simple yet poignant – to beat cancer, grow her hair, and live her dreams. While advancements in research and treatment did not come in time for Isabella, her legacy continues to inspire a fight against pediatric cancer, giving other children a chance at survival and a future filled with dreams.
The Role of the ISF in Advancing Cancer Research
Over the years, ISF has made significant strides in pediatric cancer research, with an investment of $7 million to date. This funding has been instrumental in expanding the scope of research and improving treatment options, particularly for rare pediatric cancers. As ISF approaches their second decade, the organization seeks to only grow. The last two years have witnessed record-breaking donations, including consecutive years of over $1 million donated to pediatric cancer research and family support.
ISF’s Contributions: A Snapshot
One of ISF’s most significant achievements is the launch of the Isabella Santos Rare & Solid Tumor Program in collaboration with Levine Cancer Institute. With a commitment to becoming a global hub for children with solid tumors and rare cancers, this program aims to provide cutting-edge treatments and compassionate care to young warriors from around the world.
“We are incredibly grateful for the support and generosity of the Isabella Santos Foundation,” said Dr. Javier Oesterheld, Director of Pediatric Hematology, Oncology, and BMT at Levine Children’s Hospital. “Their partnership has been vital in our efforts to expand research and clinical operations, allowing us to provide the best possible care to children in our community and beyond. Together, we are making a real difference in the fight against pediatric cancer.”
ISF’s investment of over $5 million in pediatric cancer research at Levine Children’s Hospital has set the foundation for this groundbreaking program – the first in the nation. To date, this state-of-the-art program has attracted families from over 26 countries, seeking the best treatment options for their children.
Building on Impact and Growth
The work of ISF is far from over. The foundation is committed to continuing its support for the Rare and Solid Tumor Program at the Levine Children’s Hospital, with plans to donate an additional $1 million in 2023 to complete the program.
Furthermore, the ISF is expanding its reach by establishing the inaugural Lake Norman Three Wish Society Giving Chapter. This new chapter aims to join forces with the existing Charlotte Chapter to deepen the impact of the foundation’s mission and bring innovative treatment options to the local community. Additional Giving Chapters will be launched in the months and years ahead.
“We are incredibly proud of what we have achieved in the past 16 years, but our work is not done,” said Erin Santos, Founder of the Isabella Santos Foundation and Isabella’s mom. “We are committed to building on our success and making an even greater impact in the fight against pediatric cancer. With the support of the Charlotte community and the business community, we can continue to change outcomes and provide hope to children and families facing this unimaginable challenge. With every contribution, we are one step closer to realizing Isabella’s dreams and giving other children a fighting chance against cancer.”
As part of their ongoing efforts, the ISF is launching the inaugural Ballantyne Brunch Festival in partnership with The Amp Ballantyne. This event, scheduled for Saturday, October 7, 2023, will feature numerous live bands, a pickleball tournament, brunch bites, specialty drinks and family-friendly activities, while bringing together supporters, advocates, and survivors to raise funds and awareness for pediatric cancer research.
ISF extends its heartfelt gratitude to the Charlotte community for their unwavering support throughout the years. From the very beginning, the community has stood by their side, offering encouragement, resources, and a sense of belonging. It is through this collective effort that ISF has been able to achieve its remarkable accomplishments and inspire hope in the lives of countless children and families.

Over sixteen years, ISF has contributed $7 million to expand research and treatment and support affected families. Partnering with Atrium Health and Levine Children’s Hospital, ISF funded clinical trials, developmental therapeutics, and a top-tier MIBG therapy suite—one of 20 nationwide. In 2020, the Isabella Santos Rare & Solid Tumor Program launched with Levine Cancer Institute, aspiring to be a global hub for children with solid tumors and rare cancers.
Originating from one girl’s mission, and carried forward by her loving mom and the support of the Charlotte community, ISF’s impact thrives and its ability to transform lives will endure for generations. Join our commitment to bring hope, healing, and progress to young warriors and their families.

GreenTrees recognized by the 2023 Sustainability Awards for the environmental impact of its reforestation efforts
THE PLAINS, Va., Aug. 30, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — GreenTrees, a global leader in reforestation to answer climate change and the largest reforestation program in the U.S., today announced the Business Intelligence Group awarded GreenTrees with the Sustainability Initiative of the Year recognition in the 2023 Sustainability Awards program. The Sustainability Awards honor the people, teams and organizations who have made sustainability an integral part of their business practice or overall mission.
“GreenTrees is thrilled to have been awarded the Business Intelligence Group Sustainability Initiative of the Year Award as we work with landowners large and small to plant forests and generate carbon credits,” said Chandler Van Voorhis, co-founder and managing partner of GreenTrees. “Reforestation is the most scalable technology to remove carbon from the atmosphere and it’s an honor that our efforts to reverse the effects of climate change were recognized by such a prestigious award.”
The Business Intelligence Group Sustainability Awards highlights GreenTrees’ 20-year commitment to scale reforestation and address the climate crisis. Since its founding in 2003, GreenTrees has pioneered reforestation in the U.S. and worked in public-private partnerships with government entities to empower landowners to participate in a vibrant, voluntary carbon credit market. Over the past two decades, GreenTrees has successfully forged partnerships with more than 600 landowners to establish the largest reforestation project in the U.S., with a 99.64% market share of ex post facto vital credits issued to date.
As the only carbon removal program open to both small and large landowners, GreenTrees’ reforestation projects provide its landowner partners with the opportunity to collect income through repurposing their land by monitoring annual biomass growth and converting that annual growth into carbon credits. GreenTrees accounts for 44% of all U.S. voluntary carbon credits. GreenTrees has planted more than 60 million trees, sequestered 6.3 million tons of carbon and helped restore 3.4 billion liters of water stored in the forested ecosystem.
“We are proud to reward and recognize GreenTrees for their sustainability efforts,” said Maria Jimenez, chief nominations officer, Business Intelligence Group. “It was clear to our judges that their vision and strategy will continue to deliver results toward a cleaner, more sustainable world. Congratulations!”
The Business Intelligence Group Sustainability Awards accredit companies that put sustainability at the forefront of their purpose. The award program seeks to recognize companies that deeply understand the collaborative action needed to address climate change effectively.

GreenTrees is the market leader in reforestation and carbon removal in the U.S. A model land equity program for landowners, GreenTrees generates the largest number of forestry carbon removal credits in the U.S. The only carbon removal program open to both small and large landowners, GreenTrees engages individual landowners to plant forests, measure the growth annually and convert the annual growth into carbon credits.
