International Childhood Cancer Awareness Day
Organizations around the world will join forces today to raise awareness for childhood cancer. The aim of the day is to help children with cancer get the best possible treatment and care, no matter where they live in the world, by raising both awareness and money.
The treatment and care of pediatric cancer patients requires a whole interdisciplinary team, to provide not just the medical treatment of the child (which may include surgery and radiation), but also the psychosocial support for the child and the whole family. Close cooperation between the medical team at the hospital and the parents of the child is considered to be an essential component of the successful treatment and care of the child.
Every advancement in curing childhood cancer has come through research. Please consider making a donation today by clicking the “Donate Now” button on our web site or sponsoring one of our events. Together we all can make a difference!

CCF donates $50,000 to Children’s Medical Center
Children’s Cancer Fund donated $50,000 to Children’s Medical Center to support the Child Life Assistant position in the Center for Cancer and Blood Disorders. CCF has funded this valued member of the CCBD team since 2002.
With the primary goal of minimizing the impact of illness on normal growth and development, Child Life professionals help children and families understand and process their healthcare experiences. The position provides psychosocial, emotional, and educational support, as well as positive distractions, to children and families in the clinic setting. The Child Life Assistant helps to relieve patient and family anxiety associated with medical procedures, and offers fun, developmentally appropriate activities which encourage play, promote healthy child development, and offer a break from the stresses of the hospital environment.
With the help of Children’s Cancer Fund, Children’s Medical Center is committed to making valuable support services like Child Life available to patients and families at no charge.

GOLF TOURNAMENT RAISES $38,900 FOR CCF
In honor of September being Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, SBB Management Company hosted their first annual golf tournament with 92 players at Lantana Golf Club on September 14, 2009. The idea for the event began with SBB’s CEO Fred Shapiro, but the hard work and planning with his staff made their event a reality. As an Advisory Board Member of Children’s Cancer Fund, Shapiro chose CCF as the beneficiary of this grand event and raised $38,900!
Mr. Shapiro and his wife, Dr. Karen Bradshaw hosted the sponsors of the tournament at their home the night prior. It was a great evening for everyone to network and socialize before the event.
The golf tournament was an opportunity for community association members to give back. The sponsors included vendors, contractors and professionals. Several homeowners’ association members played in the tournament as well. It was a remarkable day for a worthy cause! After the final hole, an awards dinner at Lantana Golf Club recognized those who placed. The master of ceremonies, Drew Pearson, signed footballs and photographs in exchange for donations to Children’s Cancer Fund. After a video about CCF, the former Dallas Cowboy great shared his experiences and involvement with our luncheon and fashion show.
Mr. Shapiro’s daughter, Melinda, participates in CCF’s annual “Beyond the Rainbow” Luncheon and Fashion Show. The luncheon is CCF’s largest fundraiser, and the 22nd Annual will be held on Friday, April 23, 2010 at The Hilton Anatole Dallas. The theme this year is “Bright Stars. Bright Hope.” Children currently undergoing cancer treatment and the survivors are models on the runway escorted by celebrities and our sponsors.
