Child Cancer Fund is a partner to families of pediatric cancer patients and provides programs and services to 300 families annually. This grassroots charity is small but mighty, with one full-time employee who was in the cancer fight with her young son years ago. Carla Montgomery understands the challenge and horrors of pediatric cancer.

When a family calls Carla, she provides gift cards, mortgage assistance, meals, tutoring and other financial assistance. Pediatric cancer patients face weekly or monthly treatment, as well as unplanned ER visits, and more. Every visit comes with costs for the family: gasoline, meals, and more.

Money raised through Careathon goes directly to the Child Cancer Fund to support the families they serve.

Every single dollar matters. In six years, more than $1.2 million has been raised through Careathon.

Listener donations helped to fully fund the Child Life Specialist position at Nemours Children’s Health through a restricted fund. And donations have allowed families to escape for weekend retreats at Camp Boggy Creek in Central Florida.

Here is what a donation to the Child Cancer Fund can accomplish:

· $1000 pays for our Mom’s and Dad’s support group

· $750 pays for a family to go to Camp Boggy Creek for a weekend away from the rigors of treatment

· $500 covers the cost of a private tutor so children don’t fall behind academically

· $100 covers a gift card for groceries for a family to put food on the table

· $50 pays for gas to get to and from treatment

· $25 pays for disease specific educational books and notebooks with information for newly diagnosed families

· $10 covers snacks, toys, diversionary supplies (basically the cost of supplies for the Child Life Specialist to work with a child for the day)
