offering families together time
About our home:
The Brian Bisgrove Home of Courage honors Auburn native Brian Bisgrove, an active young man who lost his battle to cancer at only twenty-one years old. The Bisgrove Family donated Everest Park – 160 acres of farmland that includes woods, hills, streams, and a pond, where Champions for Life built athletic fields, and a log cabin used for New York State families with children (under eighteen) who are struggling with life threatening illnesses or debilitating medical or developmental diagnoses. Champions for Life, Inc. is a non-profit organization that operates the BBHC. The BBHC is fully funded by Champions for Life programming, and donations and sponsorships from caring community members and local foundations. Here, families dealing with medically fragile children can experience a different kind of healing- one of mind and spirit, focused on their faith and their family unit.
The Brian Bisgrove Home of Courage maintains high standards and delivers exceptional quality to each family. Everything they need is provided, from linens to towels, stocked pantry and fridge, and many other amenities. We hope to offer a quiet refuge were the whole family can experience peace, tranquility, and hope.
