In 2026 with your help, we supported the Ronald McDonald House to purchase items (snacks) for were families stay when children are in the hospital as well as donate to The Brooklyn Project Foundation. The Brooklyn Project Foundation is a nonprofit 501(c)3 organization, committed to furthering research and clinical trials for childhood cancer patients in the state of Arkansas. They provide funding to the Innovative Therapies Program of the Hematology/Oncology department at Arkansas Children’s Hospital. This program fuels advances in prevention, treatment, and survivorship so that Arkansas’s childhood cancer patients do not have to leave the state during the most critical time in their treatment.
Stride to End Childhood Cancer
September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month
Every 2 minutes, a child is diagnosed with cancer. No child deserves cancer. Yet lymphomas, leukemias, and other forms of the disease common in children are the stark reality for many youth – and their families. There is both heartache and hope.
