Zoey’s Sweet Success

Four-year old Zoey Vega celebrated the end of her five month chemotherapy treatement at UC Davis Comprehensive Cancer Center with her parents and cancer care team. She was all smiles with pink frosting smeared on her lips during the “End of Therapy” party. Keaton Raphael Memorial partners with UC Davis Comprehensive Cancer Center to make End of Therapy celebrations possible for all children once they complete their treatment. KRM partners with local community members and organizations to provide each child’s favorite treats, such as cupcakes, cake or pizza. The youngsters also receive customized gifts during their celebration.

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. 

This month, we honor brave young warriors, remember our precious Angels, and stand with families fighting childhood cancer today. From fundraising events to volunteer opportunities, there’s a way for everyone to join this mission of hope.

Together, let’s Glow Gold and remind every family: you are not alone in this journey. This September, we shine a light of awareness, love, and unwavering support for every child and family facing childhood cancer.
