Girls’ 6th Birthday Party raises hundreds for CCC

February 20, 2012 in news from us

When soon-to-be six year olds – and BFFs – Sadie, Lexi and Madelyn decided to have a joint birthday party, they also decided to give back to other children who may not be as fortunate as themselves.

The three birthday girls decided that, in lieu of presents for themselves, they would ask that oarty guests bring something from the Children's Cancer Center 'Wish List' which includes toys, gift cards and games. Many of these items will be used for Love Bundles the Children's Cancer Center gives to newly diagnosed cancer patients when they are first hospitalized, providing a means to occupy their time during long hours of treatment.

The Children's Cancer Center would like to say 'Thank you' to these three wonderful young ladies for being so selflessly aware of others!

1st Grader raises $765 for the Center!

February 17, 2012 in news from us

When young fashion-conscious first-grader Gianna heard that a fellow stuident in her school was battling childhood cancer, she decided she wanted to do something to help.

With Gianna's 7th birthday on the horizon, she decided to couple her love of fashion with her love of her fellow students and have a 'Fashionista' birthday party….and asked that in lieu of presents, all guests make a donation to the Children's Cancer Center.

She raised $765.00!

Gianna is a wonderful role model and we thank her – and all her birtdhay guests – for caring so much for their fellow students!
