PCFLV: The Pediatric Cancer Foundation of the Lehigh Valley

Thanks to a generous individual supporter of PCFLV, we are thrilled to have a sponsored tree in the Charities Festival of Trees display at Illumination - the brand new holiday light spectacular taking place at Lehigh Valley IronPigs Coca Cola Park! Our tree is honoring the 30 brave children who shared their cancer journeys in our 30 Days, 30 Stories campaign this past September. We were even lucky enough to have several of our families come out and help us decorate by hanging their own photo on the tree! Opening tonight and running through January 4th, you can stroll through the beautiful tree display at Illuminations and, for just a $1 donation, vote for your favorite tree! Voting is easy and can be done online or via text. (Psst… vote for PCFLV! 😉) HOW TO VOTE: 🌟 Online: www.treevote.givesmart.com 🌟 Text: Send “TreeVote” to 76278 Here’s how it works: PCFLV earns one vote for every dollar you pledge, and 50% of your total pledge will directly support our mission, with the other 50% benefiting IronPigs Charities. This festive, friendly competition supports so many wonderful causes. We’d love your support in casting a vote (or a few!) for PCFLV’s tree. Let’s make it shine bright for our brave kiddos! 💛 Thank you for helping us spread hope, love, and joy this holiday season. #ironpigs #festivaloftrees #forcharity #PCFLV

A huge thank you to Red Robin - Lehigh Valley Restaurant Group and to everyone who recently added dessert to their catering order! Last week, we received a check for over $2,000 from third-quarter dessert proceeds! Red Robin has been an incredible supporter of PCFLV, and we are beyond grateful. So keep those catering orders coming (and don’t forget dessert!)—every order makes you a hero for local kids with cancer. 💛 Check out the menu here: https://lnkd.in/egpcWvic #redrobin #dessert #forkidswithcancer #PCFLV

To our incredible sponsors and supporters, we are excitedly asking... 🎄 Who wants to sponsor a holiday TREE for PCFLV? 🎄 We see visions of GOLD dancing in our heads… 🎗 ⭐ ✨ 💛 Reserve a tree in the Lehigh Valley IronPigs "Charities Festival of Trees" to support a nonprofit of your choice (we hope it's PCFLV 😉). Each sponsored tree will be on display all season long at Illuminations, shining bright for an amazing cause! #treeforcharity #ironpigsbaseball #PCFLV https://lnkd.in/eqS-Xm5D

🎃 HAPPY HALLOWEEN! In the spirit of this spooktacular day, we thought we'd share a few photos from two trick-or-treating events our PCFLV kiddos got to enjoy this past week! A huge thank you to Lehigh Valley IronPigs for hosting "Suites and Treats" last Thursday for area nonprofits - our families had a blast! And a big shout out to Allentown Central Catholic High School's Vikings for Gold for organizing a private Trunk or Treat for our cancer kiddos and their families! The decorated cars, hosted by an incredible group of students, made the afternoon unforgettable! #trickortreat #cancerkids #ironpigsbaseball #VikingNation #PCFLV

Ever wondered where your donations really go? 🤔 At PCFLV, you can see the impact firsthand—our annual Cancer Mom Weekend Retreat is a perfect example! This fun and interactive, two-night getaway offers our moms a chance to connect, laugh, create art, enjoy wine tastings, play games, share meaningful conversations, and even experience a bit of adventure with activities like UTV riding! With your support, we’re able to provide these incredible caregivers and "Wonder Women" a much-needed respite from the daily challenges of having a child with pediatric cancer. 🙏🎗💛 Interested in getting involved or contributing to PCFLV?

We are thrilled to be one of the organizations chosen to benefit from these students' inspiring philanthropic efforts! The concept behind their homecoming court selection is truly remarkable—don’t miss this uplifting story. 🤩 Creative fundraisers like these—whether led by young students in schools or colleagues in workplaces—are vital to the success of charities and nonprofits. We love seeing people come together to support local causes and make a real difference in our community! Special shout-out to one of the students, Ella, who chose PCFLV as the beneficiary of her fundraising in honor of Dominic, one of our courageous cancer kiddos! Thanks to her hard work, we received a generous check for $1,922 to help us continue supporting pediatric cancer families. Heartfelt thanks to Ella, the Southern Lehigh High School Student Council, and everyone who contributed to her campaign! 💛 https://lnkd.in/ekk4Vp6S
