ISF Intern teams were challenged with creating a 7 day social media rare pediatric campaign to help raise awareness. Each team was assigned with a designated rare cancer and responsible for conducting research, creating a storyboard and plan, developing daily educational graphics and content.
Congrats to Team Happy Feet for bringing in the win for this 2-week creative challenge. Happy Feet provided the most detailed and organized research and planning with a good mixture of visual elements and educational detail.

Sarah is 7 years old and has been diagnosed with Embyonal RMS. She is one of our newest Warriors, and is undergoing Treatment at Levine’s in Charlotte. Despite Sarah’s recent diagnosis, she is still listening to her favorite song “Let it Go” and always snacking on animal crackers! Like all of our other Warriors, Sarah is MORE than her diagnosis and will continue to shed the light she shines each and every day! Sweet Sarah is one of the many children that are our entire future. YOU have the privelege and opportunity to lift them up and support them during their fight by donating to ISF and helping us take one step closer to improving treatment options for our fighters. We need these hands to reach lives and hearts to make change in the future, and with your help we can give these opportunities to our Warriors. If you feel compelled to contribute and help to make the difference in the lives of our Rhabdo Warriors, please visit donateisf.org to bring us one step closer to creating change for good.

Did you know that there are an estimated 15,780 children between the ages of birth and 19 years of age diagnosed with cancer each year in the U.S? However, only 4% of the billions of dollars the government spends annually on cancer research is directed towards treating childhood cancer. Rare cancer research tends to be even more neglected because of the smaller demographic of people who are affected. But even one child lost is one too many. These children are our future. They deserve more than 4 percent of attention and care. To mobilize this thought, visit DonateISF.org, like @The Isabella Santos Foundation’s Facebook page, and SHARE this post!
Below are samples of Team Three Wish Warrior’s campaign graphics.
