Keaton Raphael Memorial to Celebrate 15 Years and More Than $1 Million Raised for UC Davis Pediatric Cancer Research

Keaton Raphael Memorial (KRM) today announced plans for its Inaugural Gala on Sept. 20, 2013, when the charity will highlight the past “15 years of Hope, Courage, and Strength” and its continued mission to fund the fight against childhood cancer, raise awareness and support children with cancer and their families in northern California.

Keaton Raphael Memorial, a 501(c)3 non-profit, was established in 1998 following the death of 5-year old Keaton after his courageous, nine-month battle with neuroblastoma. Since then, the charity has raised more than $1 million for UC Davis pediatric cancer research. KRM also provides emotional, educational and financial support directly to children with cancer and their families.

September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month

September is National Childhood Cancer Awareness Month. Every 3 minutes, a family’s life is turned upside down when they hear the four devastating words, “Your child has cancer.” At Keaton’s Child Cancer Alliance, we believe that every child deserves a fighting chance – and you can help make that a reality.
