Helping Our Children
Calling all poker players! We need community members to ante up to support local families fighting cancer. Our fifth annual “All in for Childhood Cancer” is on May 18 at the Grand Sierra Resort for a $150 entry fee. Players of any skill must be at least 21. To register, click here.
Supporting Our Families
A gift of any size to Northern Nevada Children’s Cancer Foundation will greatly benefit a family whose child is undergoing cancer treatment or suffering late effects from treatment. When a child is stricken with cancer, the needs are great.
Your gift supports the families of Northern Nevada Children’s Cancer Foundation.
Help, Hope, Courage … It’s Why We’re Here!
What’s New
NNCCF launches survivorship program
for teen cancer patients
The Northern Nevada Children’s Cancer Foundation launched a new program called Inspire on April 1 for adolescents and young adults who have survived childhood cancer and those who are still undergoing cancer treatments.
The opportunity to attend camps and courses, which are tailored to the ages of these survivors to learn about the cancer journey and provide support for moving beyond cancer, will be provided throughout the region. Inspire also will offer a counseling component to address each survivor’s emotional and psychological needs during this stage of their life. Finally, the program will give scholarships to five students based on an application and eligibility requirements to help them on a path toward a successful career.
What We Do
2011 was a busy year for NNCCF. Check out a sampling of what we were able to accomplish last year because of the support of our generous donors!
