Hallie's Story
The Hallie225 Foundation is a non-profit charity dedicated to supporting causes that were deeply important to Hallie Grossman. Hallie fought bravely against a rare form of cancer for 10 months before passing away at age 25, leaving behind a legacy of kindness, compassion, and love.
​
Inspired by Hallie's remarkable life, The Hallie225 Foundation was launched as a tribute to her enduring spirit and the values she embodied. Our mission is to make the world a better place by supporting the things Hallie cared about and living life 'The Hallie Way' - creating a more inclusive, compassionate, joyful, and happy world.
The name "Hallie225" holds a special significance as Hallie was born on February 25th at 2:25pm and passed at the age of 25. Throughout her life, the numbers 225 held a particularly special meaning for her as they were her lucky numbers. These numbers not only symbolize her birthdate but also represent her spirit and legacy, which continue to inspire us to make a positive difference in the world.
At the Hallie225 Foundation, we recognize the power of turning tragedy into positive change. Many of Hallie's friends and family have joined together to honor her memory and raise funds to provide academic scholarships, medical grants, and camp/experience grants for deserving individuals in need of financial support.

THE MEANING
BEHIND THE
ELEPHANT
Hallie felt a deep affection for elephants. There are clear parallels between Hallie and her favorite animal; both exude strength, loyalty, wisdom, and a caring nature. To symbolize these traits and pay tribute to the importance of elephants in Hallie's life, we've chosen the elephant as the logo for Hallie225.
