Save the Date! Soak up the sun this summer and join us in never wanting it to end! On Saturday, September 28, come celebrate Summer’s beauty with cocktails and delicious bites by the pond, romantic bike rides along the pathways, and the glow of the sunset.
We toast the end to summer with a farm to fork seasonal meal hosted by Bella Bru, entertainment, and auctions all to support Keaton’s Child Cancer Alliance’s ability to carry local families through cancer diagnosis and treatment.
In honor of Brain Cancer Awareness Month, we’d like to introduce you to Keaton’s Kiddo Emily, a remarkable young fighter who has been part of our Keaton’s Child Cancer Alliance family since 2018. “Our journey began in Aug 2018, Emily our 8-year-old was waking up everyday with headaches and throwing up in the morning.

Thanks to your support, a family preparing for a four-month stay in the Bay Area for a life-saving stem cell transplant now has the essential items they need, including diapers, Visa gift cards, luggage, and clothing. Your kindness allows them to focus entirely on their child’s treatment without the added burden of securing basic necessities.
Today, on National Down Syndrome Day, we recognize that children with Down Syndrome are 10 to 20 times more likely to develop leukemia. This unique connection between childhood cancer and Down Syndrome—a reality for many families, including our beloved Keaton’s Kiddo, Joy.
While the focus is understandably on the child battling cancer, siblings face their own emotional challenges. They may experience feelings of worry, fear, confusion, or even guilt, and it’s important to acknowledge their role and provide support for them as well.
Keaton’s Child Cancer Alliance is a 501c3 nonprofit organization Tax ID 68-0406980 and certified United Way Partner #11669
