For children diagnosed with serious illness and their families, every moment is precious. At CCA, our goal is to transform as many of those moments as possible — with joy.
Why joy?
Because in the fight against devastating illness, joy is often forgotten. Because joy connects us with the power of hope, comfort, and happiness and helps families and children feel uplifted when their lives have been turned upside down. Because joy is something every child deserves.
Children’s Cancer Association’s mission is to provide seriously ill children with joy one moment at a time when they need more than medicine. CCA has been a pioneer in Oregon by delivering joy through its programs for the last 17 years.
