Want to Put the ‘Merry’ in Someone’s Christmas?

We know not everyone can attend our Christmas donation event or shop for a family in person—but the magic of the season is that giving can happen from anywhere.

This year, our goal is to support 15 to 20 families facing the challenges of cancer during the holidays. Your contribution—big or small—can go a long way in helping us reach that goal. Every dollar will bring gifts, essentials, and moments of joy to families who need it most, reminding them they are not alone.

If you’d like to be part of making this season brighter, please consider making a contribution today.

OUR STORY

On the one-year anniversary of his diagnosis with Stage 2B Hodgkin's Lymphoma, Joseph Nigro and his community celebrated a significant milestone while also launching a new chapter of hope.
