A local organization established to help area kids who have received the devastating diagnosis of childhood cancer and are undergoing treatment. It is our goal to support families and kids who need to travel for treatment, provide help with utilities, food, treatment and prayer. We also try to meet the needs of individual patients with parties, celebrations, Christmas events, end-of-chemo parties and other resources as needed.

THREE JOIN BOARD TO SERVE CCF
CCF WELCOMES THREE NEW BOARD MEMBERS
Dwight Lewis
Director
Dwight’s life’s work and a deep sense of responsibility to his community began long before his first election to public office. Dwight is a hard worker who often had two jobs at a time during his youth. He always made time to help in his community and after becoming a successful businessman he ran for public office and served the people of Volusia County for several years.
If that sounds like a stump speech, consider this ...Dwight, at age 26, had distinguished himself as Texaco’s top salesman in the entire United States and held the promise of a lucrative marketing career with the corporate giant. He was living in Miami then but wanted only to find a way to return to Volusia County and build a life here. If that life offered fewer riches, he believed it would be more enriching for the opportunities it would afford him to lead and serve the community he loved. He came home, bought a local fuel business and built it into a multi-million dollar company.
Once back home, he led the startup of a PTA at Mainland Junior High School. He coached in a youth football league for 10 years and served as president of the South Daytona Little League. As he built his business, his interests expanded to service through the DeLand Rotary, the DeLand Chamber of Commerce and as an officer on the board of the Boys and Girls Clubs of Volusia and Flagler Counties.
He and his wife, Lisa, are active members of Stetson Baptist Church. He raised a family, volunteered and led wherever he could help, from school PTAs to youth sports leagues to county governing boards, and continues now in retirement to help make life better for other families in Volusia County. It is not without reason that the county earlier in this decade presented him with a hat bearing the title “Community Helper #1.”
Dwight served on the Volusia County Council for 8 years, then he retired because of term limits. He is a graduate of Florida State University and was a math and physical education teacher for two years. He has also coached football and track. Dwight has a sad memory of losing a niece to childhood cancer and wants to lead Children’s Cancer Foundation, Inc. into a future of service to other kids.
Terry Bailey
Director
Terry is one of the premier realtors in West Volusia county. She doesn’t understand the word “downturn” and continues to list and sell properties to the satisfaction of her clients.
Terry has a reputation as a generous community servant and has been donating to CCF in many ways over the years. She was recommended to our board for her many efforts to help children with cancer, and was unanimously accepted immediately.
“I have lived in Volusia County for 40 years, I am a Realtor with Total Realty in DeLand. I have been in the Real Estate business twelve years and love my job. The best part of selling Real Estate is the opportunity to meet new people and make new friends. I believe in Old Fashion Service 7 days a week.”
“I am married to Dave Tryba and I have two children and two grandchildren. I have been involved with the Children's Cancer Foundation, Inc. since it was started. “I truly believe that because I have been so blessed with healthy children and grandchildren I should give back at every opportunity.”
Having already attended her first board meeting, Terry is anxious to get started helping improve and energize the CCF program. Because she is so dynamic in the business-world we expect her defiance of negativity to inspire us to grow.
