01
Raise Awareness around Mental Health Support
The primary mission is to provide awareness around cancer and mental health while also providing psychosocial support and resources, and access to affordable counseling and psychotherapy.
02
Annual DFW
Holiday Meals
This outreach program started as a way to cope through a diagnosis anniversary. Receiving a diagnosis on Thanksgiving and missing out on a good meal with family around the holidays is another unspoken sadness in families. In 2021, as a way to change the narrative around cancer-versary / diagnosis day, we joined other organizations to deliver meals. This has continued to grow and we have been able to provide meals made by award winning Chef Mark and meal gift cards to all three local childhood cancer treating hospitals for Thanksgiving and Christmas.
03

Book Club
The book club is unique way to process the emotions, the complex thoughts, the grief and the trauma experienced by childhood cancer families. The facilitators are trained mental health professionals who know how to maximize the benefits of reading particular books to facilitate healing!
