Thank You For Your Support!
All proceeds from the event will benefit The Children's Cancer Research Group (CCRG). The Group, staffed entirely by parent volunteers, donates 100% of all funds to research being done on childhood cancers at St. Joseph's Children's Hospital. St. Joseph's is the only community hospital in Florida and one of a very few non-university hospitals in the U.S. with a research laboratory dedicated to pediatric cancer research. Current research includes efforts to silence the gene that is often associated with medulloblastoma, a brain cancer in children. Other studies include production of a vaccine against neuroblastoma. The lab has made some important discoveries and your support can help continue the breakthroughs being made in our own community. It is estimated that one out of every 330 children in America will develop cancer before the age of 20. Research conducted in the lab has already yielded encouraging results. |
