Thank you to all of the families that could join us on December 7th. Photos will be posted here shortly.
Intending to provide an opportunity for ‘kids to be kids’ for a few hours, away from treatment, a hospital, or therapy, CCF has organized a treatment-free afternoon for pediatric cancer patients, survivors, siblings, and parents for the past 21 years.
The event offers lunch, Santa, a make-your-own pizza station, face painting, fire truck tours, and raffles. The day is often the first chance that an entire family has been able to enjoy a meal and relax together in months. It also creates an opportunity for camaraderie among families, something so many cancer families miss due to isolation during treatments and missed activities.
The 2024 CCF Children’s Holiday Party was held 12/7.
Thank you to The Kahlert Foundation
for making this special day for
families possible.
