Did You Know???
Did you know as early as 40 years ago many caregivers advised the parents of children battling cancer to not discuss the child’s cancer with anyone outside the family?
Thankfully, due to the efforts of many great organizations and the advances in research, families no longer have to hide and struggle alone as they face the daily battle of having a child who has cancer.
However, there are still large gaps of awareness and understanding within the community of the devastating effects a childhood cancer diagnosis has on the entire family. That gap is deeply felt by the families through loneliness, isolation and financial pressures. It is our goal at CBC to bridge those gaps by bringing the community alongside the families to encourage and support them.
CBC will focus on bringing direct support to these families during their battle. Find out how you can get involved with CBC and make sure families battling cancer do not have to face the battle alone.
Family Day Out
Cancer is an extremely isolating disease! Unfortunately, the child and the rest of the family are at the mercy of the child's complete blood counts (cbc's) in order to be able to enjoy a meal at a restaurant, a visit to a museum, a birthday party, or even a trip to the store. With low immunity, a simple cold can lead them to serious and even life threatening situations. This often leaves them and their siblings in isolation for long periods of time.
Thanks to the generosity of our corporate partners, CBC offers a Family Day Out Program to provide our families with family outings they all can enjoy during those brief moments that blood counts are in safe ranges. These outings allow the family a unique opportunity to build positive memories during an extremely difficult time. These family days out relieve much of t he stress and anxiety that is common to these families.

"Already and Angel"
The beautiful single 'Already and Angel' is now available! We are excited to be able to share this amazing song with all of you.
