By purchasing one ticket to the virtual Buddy Bag Bash (BBB), you are also buying a much-needed Buddy Bag for a child with cancer and their family to use in the hospital.

43 children are diagnosed each day with cancer. That’s 1 child every 30 minutes. 1 out of 8 children will not survive… that’s approximately 1800 children each year. Nearly 60% of those who survive will have long-lasting chronic health conditions as adults. More children die from cancer than AIDS, muscular dystrophy, cystic fibrosis, and asthma combined.

The good news? Research in childhood cancer has led and continues to lead to successful treatments for adult cancers.
