New Innovations. Local impact.

As our fundraising season moves full steam ahead with our Coffee for a Cure events scheduled at the end of March, we want to introduce you to some amazing companies that have decided to partner with us for the 2017 year as a Sustaining Sponsor.

The Isabella Santos Foundation and Levine Children’s Hospital has had a special partnership for years since Isabella was treated at LCH for neuroblastoma.   However, 2017 brings our partnership with Levine Children’s Hospital to the next level as they sign up to be a sustaining sponsor and we collaborate to bring an innovative pediatric cancer treatment to Charlotte, MIBG Therapy.   MIBG can be used to successfully treat neuroblastoma (with minimal side effects!), but a high-dose radioactive chemical that requires a special room for the patients to stay. Isabella received MIBG therapy in Philadelphia when she was filled with cancer and it destroyed it all.

We look forward to educating our supporters all year long about MIBG therapy.  Our passions are strong and very much in line and together we will make a huge impact in Charlotte (and well beyond).

Levine Children’s Hospital

Whether your family is dealing with a child’s sudden, serious health concern or a chronic illness, you’ll find help and support at Levine Children’s Hospital in Charlotte. Levine Children’s Hospital cares for patients in a warm, child-friendly environment, to help them feel better as they get better. They do it by involving you – the family – every step of the way.

Every Drop Stays Here. Save Local Lives.

As our fundraising season moves full steam ahead with our Coffee for a Cure events scheduled at the end of March, we want to introduce you to some amazing companies that have decided to partner with us for the 2017 year as a Sustaining Sponsor.

Community Blood Center of the Carolinas, CBCC, has been near and dear to our hearts since Isabella received numerous blood and platelet transfusions to help her stay strong and fight neuroblastoma.  Since Isabella passed, CBCC has sponsored our 5K/10K & 1 mile fun run for Kids Cancer every year in honor of Isabella. And because CBCC helped sustain Isabella’s life while she was fighting, we host our annual Blood Drive every year on Isabella’s birthday (March 9th).  We absolutely love this partnership we have with our local blood center.  This year, CBCC is taking their support a step further by becoming a 2017 Sustaining Sponsor.  We couldn’t be more thrilled.

Isabella and her daddy, CBCC Blood Drive, 2012

Many people may not know, but cancer patients are the #1 recipients of blood products.  Sharing Isabella’s story allowed CBCC to show people first-hand the importance of donating blood and hosting blood drives in our community.  Although Isabella lost her life to neuroblastoma, she would have never survived as long as she did without CBCC and the blood products she received.

You can help!  Join CBCC to save local lives by donating blood or platelets, or by organizing a blood drive at your workplace, organization or house of worship.

Remember:  Every drop stays here.  Saving local lives.

 

Community Blood Center of the Carolinas

CBCC is an independent, locally managed, non-profit community blood center. We are the primary blood supplier to the region’s patients and hospitals.

Thank You 2016 Sponsors

Our Corporate Sponsors are a HUGE part of our fight against Pediatric Cancer. Without their support, we could not continue to grow and make an impact in the cancer community. It is because of them that we are able to put on the wonderful event that we do, year after year, to honor Isabella and all children that fight. We are so humbled by and grateful for all of the businesses and their volunteers that came together to help make the 9th Annual 5k/10k For Kids Cancer such a huge success. It truly takes a village to make it happen and we are forever grateful to each and every one of you. It is our honor to work with you and hope to continue the fight together.  We want to take the opportunity to once again thank all of our 2016 Race Sponsors for your support and hope to continue our partnership in the future.
