Make Twice the Difference

September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month—a time to shine a spotlight on the fight against this devastating disease and honor the children and families affected by it.

This September, you have a special opportunity to double your impact for Arizona children facing cancer. All month long, your gift to Phoenix Children’s Center for Cancer and Blood Disorders will be matched thanks to our generous friends at Sundt Construction. That means your gift will go twice as far for children and families facing some of the toughest moments of their lives.

Thank You for Being Part of Our Team

Caring for children with cancer is a team effort, and you are an essential part of our team. Support from generous people like you helps:

Ensure access to cutting-edge treatments.

CCBD’s Early Drug Development Program gives patients access to Phase I and II clinical trials, which represent the early development of some of the most promising treatments.

Fuel promising research

Nawal Merjaneh, MD, received the Young Investigator Award from Hyundai Hope on Wheels for her work on targeted therapies for rhabdomyosarcoma, a rare cancer of the soft tissues.

Provide behavioral health support

Four behavioral health professionals are embedded within CCBD to support children and families as they navigate difficult diagnoses.

Preserve the dream of parenthood

Fertility preservation services allow patients undergoing cancer treatment to bank ovarian or testicular tissue, eggs, or sperm to safeguard their ability to have children later in life.

Ease financial strain

CCBD’s Patient and Family Assistance Fund provides support for patient families experiencing financial hardship, from meal vouchers and gas cards to sack lunches and Walmart gift cards.

Treat the whole child

Philanthropy-funded programs like Child Life and Camp Rainbow help children cope with the mental, emotional and social aspects of cancer treatment.
