The Denim & Diamonds Hope Gala is celebrating its 5th year bringing guests together to fund programs that make an impactful difference on cancer patients and their families. The mission moment this year will continue to help the American Cancer Society support pediatric cancer research through our call to the heart paddle raise.
Ramie and his family faced a rare liver cancer two years ago. Today Ramie is a cancer survivor, and his family is on a mission of hope for the advancement of pediatric cancer research.
Cancer doesn’t fight fair at any age, but it is particularly devastating for children. Substantial progress has been made against some types of pediatric cancers, boosting survival for those cancers. However, there are still several types of kids’ cancers with low survival rates or no known cure.
The American Cancer Society is deeply committed to making continued advances that will improve outcomes for childhood cancers investing $51.1 million in 86 research grants for childhood cancer studies. With your help, we can do more.
