Cheng Saephan Foundation

From Laos to Lottery — A Journey of Resilience

The Cheng Saephan Foundation is a philanthropic organization founded by Cheng Saephan, a former aerospace worker and immigrant from Laos. After overcoming personal challenges, including his battle with cancer, Cheng experienced a life-changing moment when he won a $1.3 billion Powerball jackpot. This newfound wealth inspired him to create the foundation, dedicated to improving the lives of others — particularly those affected by cancer.

Fighting Cancer, Funding Hope

The foundation funds innovative cancer research, provides direct support to patients, and works to raise awareness about prevention and treatment. Cheng's focus on healthcare and research stems from his personal experience and his desire to make a meaningful impact on a global scale — offering hope to those facing one of the most devastating diseases.

Empowering Individuals Worldwide

In addition to supporting cancer-related causes, Cheng is committed to empowering individuals worldwide. He is pledging to donate $1 million each to 50 recipients globally, helping people in need of financial assistance for personal, educational, or community-based projects. This initiative reflects his dedication to sharing his fortune and uplifting others in meaningful ways. By offering this financial support, the Cheng Saephan Foundation aims to inspire a ripple effect of positive change — demonstrating the power of generosity and creating lasting, global impact.
