LETTER FROM OUR FOUNDER

A letter from founder Don Hill

It is better to light one candle with hope than to curse the darkness -- Proverbs

Thanks to our great supporters the year 2009 was one of our best in history.

We know it was a sacrifice to a lot of people who were generous for the sake of our kids and we appreciate it. We have a huge thank-you-list on our web site. Please go to www.childrenscancerfoundationinc.org and see what we accomplished in 2009-10.

We have already begun plans for fundraising for the new year and looking forward to planning our Gala for 2011. Thanks to our corporate, small business and individual supporters. All your efforts are needed to keep us available for our kids who need us.

They don't have to fight alone!

Children's Cancer Foundation, Inc.

Don Hill, founder

MISSION STATEMENT

Mission Statement
The Children’s Cancer Foundation’s mission is two-fold: We are committed to ensuring that no one has to face the diagnosis of childhood cancer alone, and secondly we provide financial assistance to childhood cancer families during the most difficult time of their lives.

GUARDIAN ANGEL PROGRAM

The need for financial support never goes away for families of/ and children who have childhood cancer. We wish you could hear the sad stories of the suffering the brothers, sisters and parents of the patients go through. Everyone has to keep up a positive front while crying inside.

A lot of people want to help individuals who need support and have inquired about ways to donate. We have established the Guardian Angel sponsorship program for special cases. Our Guardian Angels will stand by until called on to supply for a family or child in special circumstances such as:

Going out of remission a number of times
Reaching the maximum dollar amount we can contribute to one family in a year
Reaching the maximum age requirements while in treatment
And other unusual circumstances or additional family tragedy.

Guardian Angels may contribute an unspecified amount to a special case, usually on a one-time basis. We turn to you for help when other means have been exhausted. A Guardian Angel may wish to contribute through one of the traditional methods and still remain on the GA list. Our hope is to have a list of GA’s so vast that we only have to ask one time.

However you choose to support CCF, we appreciate it with our hearts.

Dr. Steve Hayman, board member, is chairing this committee. Please notify Dr. Hayman or any board member and will contact you with the details. Thank you to those who have already joined and donated through the Guardian Angel program. You will be blessed for your love and generosity.
