Easing the Burden of Hospital Parking
Because parking should never stand in the way of love, care, and presence.
About The Parking Foundation
The Parking Foundation was founded in loving memory of Stephen Louis Bilak, who spent 66 days in the ICU. During that time, Stephen’s family paid over $1,000 in parking fees – a hardship no family should have to bear while caring for a hospitalized loved one.
His story inspired us to ensure no family ever has to choose between caring for someone and costly parking.
Our mission is simple: to provide complimentary hospital parking passes to patients and families in need, starting with pediatric cancer families and expanding to others in the future. We’re building a legacy of compassion so that “parking” is one less worry during life’s toughest battles.
