Did you know? Each year in the U.S. approximately 15,780 children between the ages of birth and 19 years of age are diagnosed with cancer. Of that, over 800 parents throughout Northern California will hear the words, “Your child has cancer”.
Childhood cancer occurs regularly, randomly, and does not discriminate by ethnic group, socioeconomic class, or geographic region.
That’s why every September we take time to raise awareness & spread the word about childhood cancer.
Keaton’s Teen Alliance welcomed spring with a hands-on terrarium night filled with creativity, connection, and joy,giving teens a chance to express themselves and simply be together.
What started as a simple idea, to create a space for connection, has turned into something truly special. Seeing families show up, open up, and support one another each time reminds me why this gathering matters so much.
As this family navigates their child’s cancer diagnosis, the challenges they face are immense. Medical appointments, treatments, and the emotional weight of it all can be overwhelming. Having something as essential as a brand-new bed allows them to focus their energy where it matters most: supporting their child and caring for one another.
