KEEPING IT LOCAL
All funds raised by the ASK Childhood Cancer Foundation stay right here in Central Virginia and directly impact the lives of children with cancer and their families.
Help us reach this year's goal of $165,000 to provide programs for our community's youngest cancer patients and survivors, including:
- Three staff positions: Child Life Therapist, Chaplain, and Child Psychologist at the ASK Pediatric Hematology/Oncology Clinic at VCU
- Financial assistance to cover expenses like mortgages, car payments, and gas money for families in treatment
- Weekly after-school tutoring and summer enrichment camps for patients and survivors
- Social events for ASK kids and their families, like trips to the zoo, bowling, and the annual holiday party
- Support groups for active patients and our bereaved families
