AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW/WAGT) -Support for the Children’s Hospital of Georgia doesn’t end with Radiothon, it continues throughout the year.

The All In For Miller Foundation was out on Monday raising money and awareness for kids with pediatric cancer.

They’re finding solutions in how they can make a difference all in memory of their 4-year-old son.

It’s a golf tournament that’s been taking place at Champions Retreat for 6 years.

All in honor of 4-year-old Miller who was diagnosed with cancer at 17 months old.

“Miller showed love in a way that most of us don’t know how to show. He had a smile that would light the entire world,” said Alanda Grover, Co-founder of All In For Miller.

Miller was cancer-free in the summer of 2015 until a tumor returned two years later.

Sadly, Miller gained his angel wings two weeks after celebrating his fourth birthday.

“Unfortunately Miller’s journey didn’t end the way we wanted it to, but then you step out here and see 160 people and a community that’s embraced him and our mission and his memory,” said Alanda.

Alanda and Joe Grover formed the All In for Miller Foundation which supports hospitals and families impacted by pediatric cancer.

“We’ve been able to help families pay house payments, we’ve been able to pay for medical bills, for Christmas, and unfortunately we’ve paid for some funerals that families weren’t able to pay for,” said Alanda.

The All In For Miller Golf Tournament helps them do this.

The organization works closely with the Children’s Hospital of Georgia supporting families like Olivia’s.

“At the time we didn’t want to ask for help, but we let her help us and it was so wonderful to receive those gifts and see Jackson’s smile Christmas morning,” said Olivia Johnson, who received support from the All In For Miller Foundation.

Jackson alongside other kids at the children’s hospital kicked off the tournament.

He is in remission and rang the bell in April.

“That was a day that we had waited for it was wonderful,” said Johnson.

One hundred and sixty local and out-of-town players took to the course in support of these families.

“You can’t imagine what these people are going through so we just have to do what we can to support them and do what we can for them because you never know when it’s going to affect someone we love or be there for,” said Michael Ross, a participant.

Alanda says the foundation is now looking to next year when they are in the process of building the Miller House where families will be able to stay while their child is receiving treatment at the children’s hospital.

“I had no idea where the piece of property was going to be and the Miller house is going to be on Miller Street in downtown Augusta, so God has his hands in this,” she said.

They presented a check to the children’s hospital for $25,000 at the tournament on Monday.

They are hoping to break ground for the Miller house next year.
