Super Sam Foundation has proudly attended and participated in events at CureFest multiple times. Traveling to DC to attend this national event is an experience of a lifetime. Networking with other childhood cancer organizations, listening to children in the fight, survivors and bereaved parents, lighting a candle and singing Amazing Grace in front of the White House, and attending forums are all in effort to strengthen the childhood cancer community and ensure our voices are heard.

We are always proud of our small-town community and the wonderful support we receive in Fulton, Missouri. We look forward to watching our Brick District “Turn the Bricks Gold” during the month of September. Many business owners decorate their storefronts in gold and the city hangs childhood cancer banners from the lamp posts. Several of our local businesses also serve as drop off locations for comfort pack items.

SSF concludes childhood cancer awareness month by hosting our largest fundraiser of the year! The Hope Gala is hosted the last Friday in September in the heart of Central Missouri where over 300 attendees enjoy a scrumptious meal, short program, participate in raffle drawings and bid on both silent and live auction items. Be sure to follow our Events page for more details! SSF will be spreading awareness through our Super September events.

International Childhood Cancer Day – Feb. 15

International Childhood Cancer Day is a global collaborative campaign to raise awareness about childhood cancer,and to express support for children and adolescents with cancer, the survivors and their families.

Celebrated on the 46th day and 7th week of the year, February 15, International Childhood Cancer Day reminds us that 46 children are diagnosed with cancer and 7 will gain their angel wings each day in the U.S.

Worldwide, a child is diagnosed with cancer every three minutes. That is far too often. We must do better. Please join the fight before the next parent hears that dreaded phase, “Your child has cancer.”
If you would like to spread awareness, contact Chelsey, our volunteer coordinator. Thank you for joining the fight!
