EDUCATION/AWARENESS-WE ARE PASSIONATELY COMMITTED TO INCREASING THE AWARENESS AND UNDERSTANDING OF CHILDHOOD CANCER AND ITS IMPACT ON FAMILIES. BY SHARING STORIES, PHOTOS, AND VIDEOS FEATURING PINKY SWEAR ALL-STARS (KIDS WITH CANCER), THE FINANCIAL AND EMOTIONAL HARDSHIPS THAT REAL FAMILIES FACE BECOME TANGIBLE AND RELATABLE.
