Capital BrewFest and Waiters Race makes a difference Saturday for Northern Nevada Children’s Cancer Foundation
From Debbie Strickland, Executive Director - Northern Nevada Children's Cancer Foundation: "Help, Hope, Courage...It's why we're here",As the region’s only non-profit dedicated to serving childhood cancer patients, the Northern Nevada Children’s Cancer Foundation (NNCCF) provides essential programs and services to aid patients and their families as they face this life-threatening disease. NNCCF assists by providing critical financial and emotional support from the moment the child is diagnosed through survivorship.
Our organization's journey began with the loss of two beautiful young boys to cancer. Everything we do every day remains focused on our mission, which is the living embodiment of these young spirits. Our staff, board and community join together and fight for everyone in northern Nevada who hears the devastating words, “Your child has cancer.”
We need our communities help to fund items such as travel expenses related to treatment, medical expenses, household living expenses, food and additional expenses the family needs help with while caring for their sick child. Since our inception, we have provided more than $1.9 million in direct financial assistance and provided a priceless amount of emotional support.
We cannot help these families without partners like Carson City's Capital BrewFest. Please consider partnering with us by donating, holding an event or volunteering. Contact us at 775-825-0888 or debbie@nvchildrenscancer.org
