COURT HOUSE — Cookies for Cancer is a not-for-profit orgnization comm. Ted to raising funds to support research for new and improved therapies for pediatric cancers.
Cookies for Kids’ Cancer is a not-for-profit organization committed to raising funds to support research for new and improved therapies for pediatric cancers.
Through local bake sales, Cookies for Kids’ Cancer provides the inspiration and support for individuals, communities, and businesses to help fight pediatric cancer.
Terri Dauria of Wildwood will hold a bake sale at the Acme Shopping Plaza on Nov. 14, in Court House 10 a.m. until the last cookie is sold.
Dauria knows all too well about pediatric cancer, her grandson, Cameron was diagnosed at the age of one and half years old with cancer.
Cameron is now in remission, enjoying his life. This is the Dauria Family way of helping other young children and their families in their time of need. Because after all…who doesn’t love a good cookie?
The first Cookies for Kids’ Cancer bake sale was held in December 2007, when the mom of a young child with cancer decided to have an enormous bake sale where she and others would sell 96,000 cookies to raise money to help fund a pediatric cancer treatment in development.
With the help of more than 250 volunteers, all 96,000 cookies were baked and sold in just three weeks. The bake sale raised over $400,000. From the support the first bake sale received, the idea to create an organization for people to hold their own bake sales came to life with the creation of a national organization.
Cookies for Kids’ Cancer is not about one child or one type of pediatric cancer. It is about changing the facts of pediatric cancer for the better, forever. Childhood cancers are the number one disease killer of children; more than asthma, muscular dystrophy, multiple sclerosis and pediatric AIDS combined.
Nearly 13,000 children are diagnosed with cancer each year. Survivors of childhood cancer face a broad range of physical and psychological challenges imposed by the disease, and some will suffer its long-term effects for the rest of their lives. Despite all these statistics, there has not been a new drug developed specifically for pediatric cancer in 20 years.
Together folks can raise the funds and awareness necessary to change the face of pediatric cancer research and to provide more families and children with the hope they deserve.
Cookies for Kids’ Cancer is committed to raising the funds to support research for new and improved therapies for pediatric cancer. Make the future of pediatric cancers something more than a scary statistic. Join the fight because every child deserves a chance to live its dreams.
