This September marked the third year of “CURE’s Kids Conquer Cancer One Day at a Time.” And for the third year, the featured children inspired hundreds of people to join their fight against childhood cancer. We are thrilled to announce the 71 families participating in CURE’s Kids raised an astounding $263,000 in the month of September.
“While I am truly humbled by the amount of money that was raised, I am not surprised. When you read the stories of these children and their families, there’s just no way you aren’t going to be inspired and want to help,” says Kristin Connor, CURE Childhood Cancer‘s Executive Director. “This initiative has had a huge personal impact on all of us at CURE. It’s helped us to really get to know some of our families better and to understand on a deeper level each journey of each family. We empathize so much with them, but as our understanding deepens, our ability to provide impactful support also improves.”
Sharing the stories of CURE’s Kids every day throughout the month of September resulted in a truly meaningful and impactful Childhood Cancer Awareness Month. We still have a way to go to raise community awareness more broadly, but we are making inroads. Thank you for spending September reading about CURE’s Kids and supporting them with your donations. What a difference you all have made.

Swoozie’s was founded in 2001 when a time-deprived mother of three, Kelly, recognized the inconvenience of having to drive to ten different stores to plan one birthday party.
