Halloween is supposed to be a little scary… but chemotherapy, hospital stays, and cancer treatments are a kind of scary no child should ever have to face.

This Halloween, we're celebrating our real-life superheroes: the incredible childhood cancer heroes who show us what courage looks like every single day. 🦸

And speaking of superheroes, you can be one for our heroes, too! There's nothing scary about making a difference.

Our Yacht of Gold Gala is NEXT Saturday, November 7, and there's still time to grab your tickets! Join us for an unforgettable evening supporting children battling cancer. ✨

Get your tickets today!

Last month, our Gold Rush Cure Foundation team kicked off Childhood Cancer Awareness Month at The Golden Toast, a special reception hosted by The Carson Leslie Foundation () that brought together childhood cancer families, advocates, and congressional leaders to celebrate progress and the power of advocacy.

From connecting with , founder of the Congressional Childhood Cancer Caucus, to watching childhood cancer survivor David Padgett spread smiles with his card tricks, it was an evening to remember!

With the White House lit up in Gold for awareness, our team was ready for an incredible few days of advocacy, podcast conversations, and Pot of Gold deliveries.
Every moment was a reminder of why we continue to fight for our childhood cancer heroes! 💛

✨ Meet Marci! ✨

Behind every Pot of Gold delivery is a story of love, compassion, and hope. And no one has led and delivered more Pots of Gold with Gold Rush Cure Foundation than Marci! 💛

As a mom of two, Marci balances family, everyday life, and her incredible volunteer commitment to our Pot of Gold program. Her dedication is nothing short of extraordinary, and we truly could not do what we do without her.

Marci knows firsthand what it means to face childhood cancer. Her son, David, battled leukemia at a young age and is now a survivor attending American University in Washington, D.C. Through her own family's journey, Marci has become a source of strength, comfort, and encouragement for others walking a similar path.
She shows strength in moments when most would fall apart, offering a warm smile, a reassuring hug, and a reminder to families that they are not alone.

Marci, thank you for turning your family's journey into hope for so many others. Your heart, resilience, and unwavering dedication have touched countless lives, and we are so grateful to have you as part of the Gold Rush Cure family. 🎗️
