Our mission is to help families tackle childhood cancer by providing financial, emotional and practical support. From diagnosis to recovery and beyond, we are part of the team, allowing parents to focus on their child’s well-being. Our goal is to BE THERE for parents facing the unthinkable so they can BE THERE for their families.
COACH’S CORNER Dear Friends, As we close out another incredible year, I want to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude to all our champions—our supporters, volunteers, and community partners—who make everything we do possible. Your dedication continues to change lives every day. And speaking of champions, this fall, we were proud to host our annual Champions for Children Gala which honored New York Giants Board Director Susan Mara McDonnell, ESPN Chairman Jimmy Pitaro, and two-time NCAA Men’s Basketball National Champion Coach Rick Pitino. Together, we raised over $1.3 million for families tackling cancer. It was an incredible evening, and we are so grateful for the support.

In September and October, we got to see our impact up close and personal through a grocery store shopping spree with families courtesy of Winn-Dixie, the Winn-Dixie Gives Foundation and THE PLAYERS. We also provided a very special grocery gift card giveaway surprise thanks to ShopRite’s Inserra Family, and with the help of the New York Giants, Eli Manning and Gotham FC Head Coach Juan Carlos Amorós. To paraphrase the lyrics of Toy Story’s theme song, we’ve got a friend in these folks. But none of it would happen without you, and as we enter this season of giving, I invite you to join us once again in making an impact through our year-end giving campaign. Your generosity fuels our programs year-round—keeping our patients engaged, our families supported and our mission alive. Every gift, no matter the size, helps us continue building a brighter future for those who need it most. From all of us at the Foundation, thank you for being part of this journey. Together, we’ve made a difference. No one fights cancer alone. It takes a team, and we are so grateful to have you on ours. With gratitude,
