Dare to Dream Scholarship Recipients 2024

Congratulations to our 2024 Dare to Dream Scholarship Recipients!

Each year, Keaton’s Child Cancer Alliance honors warriors and survivors as they pursue the next steps towards their education by offering our Dare to Dream Scholarship Award. Aligning with our Education, Research, and Advocacy Program, our goal by sharing this award is to support young cancer warriors who are preparing for college, while acknowledging the many barriers and hardships they have overcome through their strength and resiliency.

Karen’s childhood cancer journey began when she was just 15 years old, diagnosed with Acute Lymphoid Leukemia. Despite experiencing emotional and physical hardships while going through treatment, and having to take time away from her studies, Karen persevered, returned to school in the Spring of her junior year, and enrolled in summer school courses to ensure she would graduate on time. Acknowledging her efforts, Karen’s excitement was contagious when she learned that she was one of our scholarship recipients for the 2024 year! Though accepted by many universities, Karen chose to enroll at a local college to stay close to her loved ones. She’s excited to pursue a career in social work and hopes to one day be a pediatric oncology social worker.
