Weโre partnering with Campaign OAAT - East as an extension of our Care Packages Program to raise money for patient Cameron. Our goal is to fundraise $5000 to send him and his family on their dream trip to Disney World. His campaign page is live now at https://t.co/tYoPWXb7k6.
High-fives all around for our amazing team members, Julia and Sharon. Julia delivered cards and goodies to Naaman, who was also helped through our Arts Program last month. Meanwhile, Sharon gathered friends to do some neighborhood fundraising. Huge thank you to both!
Through our Care Packages Program, we have been able to provide dream gifts to over 100 patients and families.
We've also recently bought gifts for our first patient in South Africa: Mhluri. Our donation provided their family with enough funds to purchase necessities and toys ๐.
On Friday, CKF was beyond honored to welcome Sarah Fisher onto our Kiss and Cry movie night fundraiser. We learned so much about Carley Allison's inspiring story as a figure skater battling clear-cell sarcoma, and we were all able to get a glimpse of the infamous "Carley glow" ๐
