Please join Dionne and Trevor Kirschner and Nina and Ted Wass in celebrating Childhood Cancer Awareness Month this September. Although we won't be gathering in person this year, your support ensures that families never receive a bill from St. Jude for treatment, travel, housing or food — so they can focus on helping their child live.
We hope to resume our live event soon, but for now, our hosts are processing the loss of beloved family members and longtime St. Jude supporters who passed away this year: Barbara Kirschner, Barbara McMahon, Jim Roberson, Pat Doak and Phil Donahue.
Thank you for your donation in any amount to support the lifesaving mission of St. Jude: Finding cures. Saving children.®
For more information on how to support St. Jude in Southern California, please contact Sarah Potter at sarah.potter@alsac.stjude.org.
Every child deserves a chance to live their best life and celebrate every moment. When you support St. Jude, you can help make cures possible for kids with cancer. Together, we can save more lives.
