Dear donors,
Do you know that September is Childhood Cancer awareness month? Most people in the childhood cancer community are aware of this, but outside of our "world" few people know about the gold ribbon. But now you do! Childhood Cancer International, our umbrella organization, calls upon all buildings, institutions, monument owners and authorities to program their exterior illumination systems to a gold theme on September 1st and throughout the month. Lighting up Gold is a gift of life.. a gift of hope ... a call to ACT NOW for children with cancer and childhood cancer survivors.http://www.childhoodcancerinternational.org/cci-signature-events/international-childhood-cancer-awareness-month/
With your care for children with cancer we received $1.632 of the $15.000 we aim for. So far this year 24 children have visited our camp of 12-18 year olds (see picture), and 42 children have visited the camp of 6-12 year old: patients, ex-patients and brother or sisters. This is wonderful!
For them it was “a nice experience, I would not have missed it”.
Do help us to gain our goal and distribute this message to family and friends, people who care for children with cancer.
Thank you very much!
