Do you know . . .

• 12,400 children will be diagnosed with cancer this year
• Cancer is the leading cause of death by disease in children under 15
• 2,300 children will die from cancer this year

Until we meet the day when every child can live a life free of cancer, we need everyone’s help to continue to promote awareness, improve prevention, diagnosis and treatment.

You can help us eliminate this terrible disease and help give children with cancer “another tomorrow.” HOW??

• Get together with your family and friends or school to discuss ways to raise money like a car wash, bake sale, mow lawns, baby-sit, toy garage sale, raffle, carnival, etc.
• Save part of your allowance each week
• Have a contest with your friends or between different classes to see who can raise the most money in two weeks
• Collect postage stamps at your birthday party
• Be creative - think of what you would like to do to raise money and have fun
