Our Story
The Foundation delivers gifts to thousands of children each year through the national Bear-Able Gift Program. Items such as board games, toys, crayons, coloring books, markers, video games, iTunes gift cards, puzzles, teddy bears, craft kits… all sorts of things that make children smile and laugh… are distributed to hospitals across the country. The Bear-Able Gift Program is the largest supplier of gifts to children with cancer in North America. In 2018, CCRF sent more than 16,000 toys to 8,011 children currently receiving cancer treatment in hospitals across the U.S.
Families of children with cancer often face financial difficulties. Suddenly, household bills become overwhelming; utilities are in jeopardy of being shut-off or an eviction notice is received. The Helping Hands Fund provides emergency bridge payments directly to the utility companies and landlords, ensuring that each child has a warm, safe place to call home while recovering from cancer. CCRF's Helping Hands Fund was able to provide financial relief to 49 families who are facing a childhood cancer diagnosis.
New in 2019! Therapeutic Services Program offering free counseling sessions and support groups to the children and families dealing with a cancer diagnosis. The team at CCRF recognizes the importance of the mental health of the entire family at the time of cancer diagnosis and during treatment. Another piece of the therapeutic program is advocating on behalf of the families, providing additional items such as, but not limited to, local donations of products, services, meals, games, lists of resources and more to families who have just received the tragic news of a childhood cancer diagnosis, in efforts to assist with raising spirits, and offering the friendship of CCRF’s team to the families. Essentially, lending a hand where they need it most!
