The Claire Daily-Stafinbil Young Heroes Program

An annual ceremony at Madigan Army Medical Center that honors children of active-duty Soldiers who face significant physical or developmental challenges.

Renamed in 2005 in tribute to a devoted supporter of Madigan, the program celebrates the courage, resilience, and perseverance of these remarkable young patients.


Each year, honorees are recognized with medals, certificates, and special gifts — a meaningful acknowledgment of their strength and determination.


As part of this commitment, the Foundation also funds two four-year scholarships to support post-secondary education. Scholarships may be used for community college courses, life skills training, and vocational programs, helping these young heroes pursue their goals and build bright futures.
