Join us for the 2012 Sonoma/Napa Gran Fondo Bike Ride
Posted on February 13, 2012 by Tom Allen
We’re putting together a team to ride in the 50 mile Sonoma/Napa Gran Fondo on May 12. This is more that just a good time, and a chance to get into summer bikini shape (yes, on occasion even I wear bikini bottoms…swimming with the Dolphin Club – see below)
This is a great opportunity to fundraise for our many support programs for families who have a child diagnosed with cancer.
More information to follow, but if you have any questions please call me (Tom Allen) at 707-234-7398…

Sister organization, SOCK, greets Santa in style
Posted on December 20, 2011 by Tom Allen
Looks like our sister organization over in Fairfield had a wonderful holiday party as well. This was the first year that we split up and had separate gatherings. The important thing is the families got together and the kids got to meet Santa.

Help with your fundraising: How to use our 501(c)3 for tax deductibility
Posted on December 15, 2011 by Tom Allen
We received a call from a friend of a newly diagnosed child yesterday. They needed information on how to offer tax deductibility to community members who would donate to the family.
It reminded me that one of the valuable services we offer is the ability to run donations through CCC and on to the family so that the donation is tax deductible. Contact us for details.
We are a community composed of families whose kid’s have had (or still have) cancer. We have all been down the fundraising road, and know that the tax deductible nature of a donation is a very real benefit. We are here to help, and are grateful we can supply this service to you.
If you have any questions just contact one of us and we will be glad to explain what we do.
