You Make a Difference! 

Colt has battled cancer for four out of the six years of his life. Read here about how your support of Children's Cancer Partners has impacted his short life and has given his parents peace of mind.

Each Monday in September, Orange Theory in Spartanburg will be supporting Children's Cancer Partners and taking up donations.

This is how many parents describe the day they were stunned to learn of their child's cancer diagnosis. Unfortunately, numerous Carolina families can identify with this description. Over 600 children in NC and SC are diagnosed with childhood cancer every year, beginning the battle against the number one disease killer of children- the precious little ones of our friends and neighbors.

A cancer diagnosis can be devastating for anyone. When it involves a child, it is particularly jolting. The good news? Families in the Carolinas who are grappling with a childhood cancer diagnosis have a strong partner for their journey- Children's Cancer Partners. We provide families with the funds needed for transportation, lodging and food associated with vital cancer treatments.

During September's Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, CCP is joining organizations across the country to raise awareness about the challenges faced by these families and how others can help provide encouragement and support. CCP is asking Carolina parents, school administrators and student organizations to show their support for local children battling cancer by hosting a Kidz in Lids event at their school

It's simple- caring kids bring a dollar to school and get to wear their favorite hat throughout the school day. All funds raised go to CCP to help ensure Carolina children can access the lifesaving cancer treatments they desperately need.

Kidz in Lids is a great way for students to learn how they can impact the lives of those among us who are dealing with significant challenges.

September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month

Keep an eye out for our billboards in Greenville, Spartanburg, Charleston, Columbia, and the Durham area!

Thank you, Partner!

First, treat yourself to the article here from Upstate Parent magazine – with your help, we’ve been alongside sweet little Colt Becker on every step of his journey. He’s battled neuroblastoma for most of his life; he wouldn’t even be here(!) if you hadn’t helped us help him get to New York 20 times for specialized care. And now he’s our “poster boy” on billboards (acquired through local nonprofit programs) and messages we hope you will see and point out to others as part of NCCAM.

800+ - that’s how many children are now served by CCP, compared with 22 when we embarked on our expansion in May of 2016!

FOOTBALL SEASON and we’re kicking cancer in more places! Officially, we only root for the teams of doctors and nurses who are fighting cancer…BUT, thanks to TDBank we get $100 every time the Wofford Terriers score a touchdown, and we’re awaiting word of renewed support from DABO’s ALL IN TEAM Foundation.

Facebook fans - we’ve got a “frame” you can put around your Fb images highlighting CCP - you saw what Facebook did for us on blankets?! Over 1.1 MILLION people reached, and the blankets are still pouring in, every day! See the instructions below from our Communications Manager Ann Louise.

Kidz in Lids® is busting out all over the Carolinas, but we really need your help getting to all the potential for this fabulous program. See the feature below, and learn how you can help with a phone call or visit to a school near you - PLEASE!

Every time we answer a call from a pediatric cancer treatment center, we make new promises to another frightened child. But when you call, or visit our website or mail us a gift, we’re closer to honoring those promises. Please don’t stop, because cancer never does. In honor of our 800 children and 15,600+ that will be diagnosed nationwide please consider a gift.

Want to bring Kidz in Lids to your child's school? Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, September, is the PERFECT time to get started! Click here for more information! We encourage schools to hold Kidz in Lids days year round. It's a simple fundraiser and a great way to teach students about local youth who are in a life or death struggle with cancer.

We wore gold and told our story at Spartanburg Rotary club to kick off Childhood Cancer Awareness Month. Karla Butler, board member, said, "Wearing gold was a small way I could show Rotarians the solidarity we have at CCP with our mission. As evidenced by the informative and heart warming presentation given by Roger and Laura- CCP is an important part of the equation for families fighting cancer in their child. I am proud to be a part of the CCP team and the communities in the Carolinas that let these children know we care!"

At the start of August, we requested blankets to deliver during our intakes with new families. With over a million people reached, our social media post blew up and people have responded from all over the world! We give blankets to our children to symbolize the hope and love we strive to wrap each child in during their cancer battle. We're overwhelmed by the kindness of strangers from across the country and around the world. Thank you to everyone that has made or sent a blanket and to those that shared our posts.Click here to read more about the outpouring of love and see more pictures!

Your copy should address 3 key questions: Who am I writing for? (Audience) Why should they care? (Benefit) What do I want them to do here? (Call-to-Action)

Create a great offer by adding words like "free" "personalized" "complimentary" or "customized." A sense of urgency often helps readers take an action, so think about inserting phrases like "for a limited time only" or "only 7 remaining!"
