Meet CCA’s inspiring families, donors, staff, and volunteers, including our 2016 CCA Heroes. They show us their compassion, generosity, and love every day.
Seventeen-year-old Dawson doesn’t speak much, but his giant smile says it all. This good-natured guy has had to face a number of medical challenges, including diabetes, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, and pulmonary hypertension.
Andrea Corradini discovered CCA by “happy accident.” Some 15 years ago she stumbled upon a CCA Gala in-progress. She asked to join the party, somebody gave her a chair, and the rest is history – or we should say, herstory.
George’s time volunteering as a Chemo Pal for almost four years taught him a lot about life, courage, and the importance of being present.
October CCA Hero, Lyla, is a charming four-year-old with a smile that’s just as big as her personality. She loves painting, doing puzzles, baking, and reading books about her favorite characters.
What is it like for parents of seriously ill children? Nicole shares her side of the story and why she decided to sign up her daughter, Emme, for a Chemo Pal.
19-year-old Jake teaches basketball every summer in honor of his childhood friend, who passed away from cancer ten years ago.
Even though he’s only 10 months old, Cyrus – or “Squishy” as his mom and dad like to call him – is already melting hearts with his giant smile and goofy personality.
This year’s CCA Invitational, formerly known as the Children’s Pro-Am, marks the 10th year of lively competition for amateurs and pros alike raising over $350,000 for our programs!
Seven-year-old Danielle has a hero in her life—someone she looks up to when her medical challenges seem too tough to face. Who is it? “ME!” she proclaimed.
Self-professed Kids Cancer Hero, CS Sheffield, is on a mission to provide joy to kids in the hospital. What he’s achieved in the last eight years is nothing short of remarkable.
