DISTRICT 19C CHILDHOOD CANCER FAMILY SUPPORT

District 19C Lions are entering their 5th year raising funds for Childhood Cancer Family Support in partnership with Mary Bridge Children’s Foundation. This project was first sponsored by DG Sharon Sikes in 2018 and we are proud to have continued our support. Lions continue to accomplish the goals of fundraising by our various Lions Clubs along with community support.

Fundraising for Childhood Cancer Family Support has provided families with the needed help when their child has been diagnosed with cancer. Cancer does not take a vacation!

When a child is diagnosed with cancer, as parents or a single parent, their world is turned upside down! This often times means leaving their job permanent/temporary to give their child 100% the time their child needs. As a parent, they are their child’s rock! Families can become financially challenged with needs such as: gas for transportation, funds for rent/mortgages, utilities, food, bills and medical. Some families even need housing support for long or short term stays to be with their child 24 hours a day. Mary Bridge Children’s Foundation provides assistance for parents needing support.

Donations are tax-deductible as provided by law.

100% of every dollar goes directly to help the patients and families at Mary Bridge!
