Our Founder
It is with deep sadness that we share the passing of Peter B. Teeley - a remarkable leader, philanthropist, and advocate for children and families. Peter founded and led the Children's Charities Foundation for 29 years, leaving a profound legacy of compassion and service.
Following his passing on November 29, 2024, the foundation was renamed in his honor. His wife, Dr. Victoria Casey, has designated The Ruesch Center for the Cure of GI Cancers and The Peter B. Teeley Children's Charities Foundation for donations in Peter's memory.
