We strive to support families wherever they are at in their cancer journey. Sometimes that means the parking lot of Seattle Children’s Hospital. We assisted a family today in great need of gift cards for gas, groceries, and more. We through in some games, books and other fun things to provide hope and encouragement. Lots of hugs and tears today. We are happy to help no matter what!

We are so blessed to have your support for our golf tournament last weekend. With 128 golfers, 30 volunteers, and 26 sponsors, we made a huge impact in assisting families with a child diagnosed with an acute, life-threatening medical crisis. We received two new applications this week for assistance and we are already putting these funds in action. THANK YOU!!!!!

This is the 6th year for July 17th being recognized as Glioblastoma (GBM) Awareness Day in the United States. GBM is the most common, complex, treatment-resistant, and deadliest type of brain cancer. Many of the families that we have assisted have been served this death sentence. Approximately 14,000 Americans per year are diagnosed with GBM, and the 5-year survival rate is under 7%. To date, the FDA has only approved 4 drugs to assist in the fight against GBM. Source: braintumor.org

The success of any event is based on the local support and sponsorships of local business owners and leaders within our communities. We are grateful for these companies' support and ask that our followers and supporters do business with them. Remember, supporting those who support us creates a strong, reciprocal community. We believe in local and hope that you do, too!
