December 2021- $50,000 grant to fund precision medicine (genomics) awarded to our research partner, Beat Childhood Cancer!
This award, raised during our last two fundraising events, will directly support the Precision Medicine Program developed by Beat Childhood Cancer. Through this initiative, children newly diagnosed with neuroblastoma will receive genomic sequencing—providing critical insights that enable highly personalized, targeted treatment based on each child’s unique tumor.
We are deeply grateful to every donor and sponsor who believed in our mission. Because of your support, we reached our 5-year goal in just 3 years. Your generosity allows us to keep moving forward in the fight against neuroblastoma, honoring sweet Maxwell’s memory every step of the way.
From the bottom of our hearts—thank you for making this possible. 💛
September 2022- $50,000 in funds raised in 2022 were awarded to our research partner, Beat Childhood Cancer to fund the IN Formation project!
The IN Formation Project uses advanced genomic sequencing to uncover the underlying mechanisms, drivers, and targets within each child’s tumor's genetic makeup, and provides access to a molecular tumor board, offering expert analysis and insights to help guide personalized treatment plans. The ultimate goal is to advance the development of less toxic, more precise, and more effective therapies for children with solid tumor cancers. We are incredibly grateful to be able to provide these much-needed funds to Beat Childhood Cancer, helping make a meaningful impact in the lives of children battling neuroblastoma today. This achievement is only possible because of our amazing community of supporters—thank you for making it all possible!
