Our fourth organization highlight: Claire Parker Foundation! The Claire Parker Foundation began in 2015 as a project at Duke University and has since expanded to serve families through eight hospitals across Virginia and North Carolina. Their mission is to improve the quality of life for children battling cancer and their families through comprehensive Care Box programs, each one designed by families who have lived through pediatric cancer treatment themselves.

September is Pediatric Cancer Awareness Month! 🎗️

The Claire Parker Foundation exists to bring hope, comfort, and support to families facing a pediatric cancer diagnosis. We want to be there for them through the tangible needs that arise along the way. 💜

Throughout the month, we’ll be sharing more about the quality of life support programs we provide through our hospital partners, the impact they have on families, and the many ways YOU can get involved.

Together, we can make sure no family faces pediatric cancer alone. 💜🎗️
