Pinky Swear Foundation

🎗️ Odds are, you know someone who has been affected by cancer. That is why you care about helping kids with cancer and their families. September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month. Throughout the month, you will see yellow ribbons on social media, in grocery stores, or at events in your local community. It can be easy to ignore given the sheer amount of messaging we experience daily. We encourage you to lean in. Stop and read the sign, stop scrolling on the post to read about a child in your community who has been affected, and follow childhood cancer charities like Pinky Swear Foundation to learn more. If you already know that you want to help during Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, consider fundraising! It can be a Facebook Fundraiser, in-person bake sale, car wash, or whatever fits your life the best. Your impact this month will also go TWICE as far for families facing childhood cancer. Thanks to a generous match by E.A. Sween, every dollar raised will be matched up to $25,000. https://lnkd.in/gRWqRubJ Together, we can say ‘yes’ to more families facing childhood cancer. #ChildhoodCancerAwarenessMonth #PinkySwearFoundation #HelpingKidswithCancer #September #Fundraising #ChildhoodCancerCharity #PediatricCancer

Childhood cancer is horrible. Knowing how to help can be hard, but sharing the story is an amazing way to help. By sharing the story, more people will understand the financial need families have during a childhood cancer diagnosis. Together, we can provide more and more families with financial payments for everyday expenses like housing, food, and transportation. We don't plan on stopping until cancer is cured. We are keeping the promise for Mitch! Thanks, HandsOn Twin Cities. 💙 #PinkySwearFoundation #HelpingKidswithCancer #ChildhoodCancerAwareness
