Ribbons of CARE

06/17/2026

Last night, Ribbons of C.A.R.E. had the honor of hosting a resource table at the 9th Annual Strike Out Cancer event. Thank you to the Lehigh Valley IronPigs for bringing our community together to honor, remember, and encourage local cancer patients and their families.

We were proud to share our mission of bridging the gap in childcare resources so families facing serious medical conditions can attend treatment, appointments, surgeries, and take much-needed respite without worrying about care for their children.

We also highlighted our support for pediatric patients through our Sibling Care Grants, which help families ensure siblings receive the care and attention they need during a child’s medical journey.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by our table, shared their stories, and learned more about how Ribbons of C.A.R.E. is making a difference in the lives of local families. Together, we continue to build a stronger, more supportive community. 💜🎗️

P.S. check out Thomas enjoying a hotdog 🌭 as a C.A.R.E. Ambassador for the night!

Our founder and board members have firsthand experience with cancer and with mothering through a diagnosis. That’s why childcare support is essential to accessing lifesaving treatment.

Nearly two million people in the U.S. are expected to be diagnosed with cancer this year and many of them are parents.

Infant childcare costs average nearly $12,000 a year — and for families already facing medical bills, that burden can feel impossible. 💛

At Ribbons of C.A.R.E., we know parents shouldn’t have to choose between caring for their child and staying financially afloat. Every family deserves support, compassion, and access to the resources they need during life’s hardest moments.

Together, we can help lighten the load and remind families they are not alone. 🎗️
