Comfort for hospice families
Raising funds and awareness in support of The Hospice House, where compassionate care surrounded our family during Kris's final days.
The Kris Miller Foundation
Her love lives forward.
We bring our community together through meaningful fundraising events that support compassionate hospice care and help local students pursue a future in nursing.
Supporting The Hospice House and future nursing scholarship opportunities for high school students in the Gig Harbor and Tacoma area.
Our mission
Two promises, kept in her name.
Every dollar we raise moves toward comfort for families in hospice care and opportunity for students who want to spend their lives caring for others.
Scholarships for future nurses
Building a scholarship fund for graduating high school students in the Gig Harbor and Tacoma area who are pursuing nursing and caregiving careers.
A community that shows up
Food, music, and grassroots gatherings that turn shared memories into real support for neighbors when they need it most.
Her story
A life rooted in family, community, and care.
Kris was a devoted wife, mother, Gramma, friend, and longtime member of the Gig Harbor community. She showed up for the people around her with humility, loyalty, and quiet strength. The Foundation carries that spirit forward by caring for families today and helping prepare the nurses of tomorrow.
