"CBC was an outlet for the frustration we and all the parents felt, who were so helpless and powerless to do something to change the outcome. It was a source of community, and if a party for the whole family or new toys in the waiting room brought some happiness, then it was worth it.”

Behind every diagnosis is a person, a family member, a loved one. More often than not, sometimes, it is a child. A child who deserves a life filled with joy, hope, and wonderful memories.

CBC is a community where we believe in making sure that children, not only get the care and support they need, they also get reminders they are more than their diagnosis!

Let us honor those we've lost and support those who are still fighting, especially our children: https://cbckids.networkforgood.com/projects/150098-everyday-giving
