Second Annual
Christmas 'Joy' Drive
for Childhood Cancer:
In order to share the true joy we have received at Christmas we will host a Christmas Joy drive to benefit families with children batting cancer during the holidays. You will not want to miss out on this exciting opportunity! Here is where you discover it truly is better to give than to receive. You will find that you will receive much more joy than you could possibly give away.
We are hoping to get an overwhelming response to this joy drive so that we can provide a gift not only for the child battling cancer but their siblings as well. The siblings of children with cancer suffer intensely in their own unique and often private way.
You can participate by donating an new unwrapped toy or gift card to CBC before December 15th or you can sponsor a gift by sending your donation to Children Battling Cancer, Inc. noted 'Christmas Joy Drive'. CBC will purchase and wrap a gift(s) from your family to be delivered to a child.
Help us bring joy to a suffering family during the holidays.
For more information or if your family or corporation would like to adopt a specific CBC child please email Dawn.

What does a Powerful Kid Look Like?? Here at CBC we think it looks like 11 year old CJ George, who has been battling Stage 3 Lymphoma for a year and a half. He was entered into the Powerful Kid Care Contest through the Chris Everet Children's Hospital and was chosen as one of the top three finalists!
But he needs YOUR HELP to win the top spot. The vote is now open to the public. Please take a quick moment and click on the link to the left and cast your vote for CJ George as a powerful kid. We think you will enjoy and be inspired by his story.

Little Mackenzie and her siblings had a blast getting up close and personal with the dolphins and other amazing animals at the Seaquarium. They enjoyed all the exciting shows and the beautiful South Florida weather.

A special thank you to Gildas Club of South Florida for all the toys donated and for recommending and trusting us with this wonderful opportunity.
We were able to provide many gifts for all 4 children, gifts for mom and dad, and present them with many gift cards and a $250.00 check with the remaining funds that came in for their family!
Mackenzie's Family
CBC was grateful to be asked to help the Mackenzie Gonzalez family for Christmas. This precious 5 year old little girl was diagnosed with stage IV Embryonal Rhabdomyosarcoma with lung metastase in December 2008. Unfortunately, after aggressive chemotherapy and treatments over the past year, the cancer has continued to spread to her lungs. At this time, the doctors feel there are not many treatment options available to her. Make A Wish Foundation stepped in and took the family to Disney the week before Christmas. They were not expected back until after midnight on Christmas Eve, leaving little time for the family to take care of Christmas presents for four little kids so CBC was asked to step in and handle all of the families Christmas shopping and wrapping while they were gone. What a blessing to see so many people come together for this family on such short notice. Through all of you, we were able to provide an abundance of gifts for all the family, including presents, stockings, gift cards and monetary donations. Thank you to all who helped make this possible. A special thank you to Dawn Reed at Winterfest Boat Parade. Kristi Huddleston at Music 4 Miracles and The Magic Children's Fund for all your support.
*Thanks to Palm Vista Community Church Youth group we were able to distribute 30 handmade cards with giftcards to the Joe DiMaggio Children's Hospital.
*Thanks to the National Honors Society at West Broward Highschool we were able to deliver over 50 stockings filled with toys and gift cards.
*Thanks to miscellaneous donations we were able to make a toy donation to the Pediatric Ambulatory outpatient.
Christmas 'Joy' Drive for Childhood Cancer:
In order to share the true joy we have received at Christmas we will host a gift drive to benefit families with children batting cancer during the holidays. You will not want to miss out on this exciting opportunity! Here is where you discover it truly is better to give than to receive. You will find that you will receive much more joy than you could possibly give away.
We are hoping to get an overwhelming response to this joy drive so that we can provide a gift not only for the child battling cancer but their siblings as well. The siblings of children with cancer suffer intensely in their own unique and often private way.
You can participate by donating an new unwrapped toy or gift card to CBC before December 15th or you can sponsor a gift by sending your donation to Children Battling Cancer, Inc. noted 'Christmas Joy Drive'. CBC will purchase and wrap a gift(s) from your family to be delivered to a child.
Help us bring joy to a suffering family during the holidays.
For more information or to request your child and his siblings be added to our Christmas wish list please contact us at: request info
UPDATE: Andrew went to be with the Lord on Sunday March 28th.
*Thank you to all who contributed to make this day special for the Broomfield Family. We raised $800.00 to present to the family, purchased gifts for Andrew and his siblings, and The Collection brought out a Ferrari to take this very special boy for a very special ride.
. 
CBC and the Miami Dade Police Dept Economic Crimes Bureau Adopt the Broomfield Family for Christmas:
Children Battling Cancer, Inc. has adopted the Broomfield family for Christmas this year and we need your help. Seven year old Andrew Broomfield is on hospice and we want to help make his last Christmas with his family a special one.
Andrew was a fun, loving and active little boy until March of 2009 when a sudden seizure lead him to the hospital. An MRI was performed that lead to the devastating diagnosis of a Brain Stem Glioma. Unlike many childhood cancers where parents are assured of hope and healing to come through modern medicines, chemotherapy and radiation, Andrew’s family was devastated to hear he had 0% chance of survival with this type of tumor.
Andrew received treatment at Miami Children's Hospital, Joe DiMaggio Children's Hospital, and Plantation Hospital. In November of 2009, after as much treatment as his body could tolerate to slow the progress of the tumor, Andrew was released home on Hospice care. Due to the treatments and the progression of the cancer in his brain, Andrew has lost the ability to walk and talk. However, he is able to smile a 1000 watt smile and laugh a contagious laugh.
Andrew, who is 7 now, is home receiving full time care and love from his mother who is deaf and his father who is hearing impaired, his 14 year old brother Tory, and 2 year old sister Sierra, as well as his loving grandmother.
As Andrew celebrates what will most likely be his last Christmas here with his family, CBC plans to make it as special as possible for this very special little boy and his family and we need your help!
We appreciate any support you can offer this family at this very precious time. We are accepting donations of toys, cash, or gift cards to help the family. If you would like to offer your support of this family, please contact CBC at 305-231-1999 or info@childrenbattlingcancer.com.
We are extremely grateful to the Miami Dade Police Dept who has partnered with us to help raise support and provide gifts for the family and will be accompanying us on December 18th as we surprise Andrew and his family with our special delivery!

*Thank you to everyone who created a box(es). We collected and distributed over 130 boxes. That means we fed over 100 families!
Thanksgiving Blessings in a Box:
Join our Thanksgiving drive and create a box of Thanksgiving Blessings for a family in need during the holidays. We will be collecting boxes with complete Thanksgiving meals. Each box will be personally decorated by the family creating it and contain all the sides necessary to prepare a traditional Thanksgiving meal as well as a gift card towards the purchase of the Turkey. *In this way we are able to keep everything non-perishable.
We will deliver the box the week before Thanksgiving to the families at the Joe DiMaggio Children's Hosptial as well as to the homes of families who are currently undergoing chemotherapy and cancer treatments. This is just one small way to relieve the burden the holidays places on these already overwhelmed families. We encourage you to add cards or pictures or any personal touch you would like to the box.

*Thank you to all who participated in our first annual chemo bag awareness fundraiser. Please plan to support us again in September 2010 for Childhood Cancer Awareness Month as we distribute chemo bags to churches, schools, clubs and neighborhoods! We need and are grateful for your support!
Chemo Bag Awareness Fundraiser:
Help transform this bag from a source of fear and pain for a child receiving chemo into a bag of blessing and joy instead by taking it home and filling it with coins, dollars, or checks. While you have the bag, allow it to serve as a visual reminder to pray for these children and their families and to raise awareness about what these children are going through
Order your chemo bags to distribute among family, friends, neighbors, co-workers. Each bag contains information with statistics, facts, and the mission of CBC. Each bag explains exactly what to do.
Organize a chemo bag fundraiser at your church, school, or club. At the end of the designated time, collect the bags you distributed. CBC will pick up the bags if you are local or if you are not local you can mail the total by check or money order to Children Battling Cancer, Inc.
...From this, to This...
Chemo Bags Raise Awareness while Raising Support!
Bone Marrow Drive:
Date: To Be Announced
CBC is excited to be hosting Driving For Donors here in South Florida. Driving for Donors was founded by Patrick Pedraja who was diagnosed with cancer at the age of 12. After watching a friend die with no match for a bone marrow transplant Patrick became dedicated to adding as many donors as possible to the National Registry. We agree with Patrick that
no child should have to die while waiting for a donor. Hispanics and Asians, in particular, are highly under represented on the National Registry.
Most people do not realize that becoming a donor is a simple as a cheek swab and a few drops of blood. You will then be placed on the National Registry until your 61st birthday. Being on the registry does not commit you to anything, but can you imagine having the opportunity to save the life of a child who will die without a transplant if you are the match they have been waiting for!
More information to come as the details and dates are confirmed. In the meantime, check out Driving for Donors and learn more about the need for Bone Marrow donors.
