1 in 4 families lose more than 40% of their household income during their child's treatment. CURE helps cover basic needs like rent, utilities, gas, and groceries. A childhood cancer diagnosis affects every part of a family's life, including their financial stability. Through its Family Emergency Fund, CURE provides emergency financial assistance to help ease the burden of ongoing treatment and the everyday expenses that don't stop when a child is diagnosed with cancer. This Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, Village Burger (@villageburger) is helping support families when they need it most. Throughout September, guests can add a $1 or $5 donation to their order, with every contribution benefiting CURE and the children and families we serve. Thank you, Village Burger, for standing with families facing childhood cancer and helping ensure they can focus on what matters most: their child's care. 💛 #CUREChildhoodCancer #ChildhoodCancerAwarenessMonth #ChildhoodCancerAwareness

This Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, we're celebrating brave children like Madison and investing in a brighter future for children and families facing cancer. In 2023, at just 18 months old, Madison’s life changed after what seemed like a simple fall led to an emergency room visit. Additional tests revealed chordoma, a rare cancer diagnosis that came just days before Christmas. In the months that followed, Madison endured chemotherapy and three surgeries, including one during which she went into cardiac arrest. Her final surgery was in April 2024, followed by seven weeks of proton radiation. In July 2024, Madison rang the bell. Today, Madison has been in remission for two years. She’s a thriving 4-year-old and enjoying preschool! Stories like Madison’s are why CURE funds critical pediatric cancer research and provides support for families facing childhood cancer. This Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, we would love to honor your hero. Submit your story at the link in our bio.

Only 5% of federal cancer research funding is dedicated to childhood cancers, despite the urgent need for better treatments and healthier outcomes for children. CURE invests in research designed to improve treatments available to children today while advancing new approaches for cancers that still have few effective options. In 2026 alone, CURE is funding 17 research grants at leading institutions across the country totaling $5.7 million to help accelerate progress for children with cancer. This September, The Ice Cream Stop is helping make that progress possible. Every Wednesday from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m., 15% of sales at its Richmond Hill, Pooler, Rincon, and Bluffton locations will support CURE's mission to fund lifesaving childhood cancer research and provide critical support for families navigating a diagnosis. Grab your favorite scoop and join us in making a difference this Childhood Cancer Awareness Month. 💛 #CUREChildhoodCancer #ChildhoodCancerAwareness #ChildhoodCancerAwarenessMonth #ChildhoodCancerResearch

At the heart of Catie's Gathering are the themed tables created by hosts and hostesses. Whether inspired by a favorite hobby, sports team, tradition, or a child who has touched your life, each table helps create an unforgettable evening while supporting a mission that matters. Keep the momentum of Childhood Cancer Awareness Month going. Host a table at Catie's Gathering Bluffton and be part of a community working to change the future for children with cancer.

One doctor's vision. Countless lives impacted. 💛 On Dr. Abdel Ragab's birthday, we celebrate the physician whose vision helped transform childhood cancer care in Georgia and laid the foundation for what would become CURE Childhood Cancer. When Dr. Ragab arrived in Atlanta in 1975 as the city's only pediatric oncologist, he faced enormous challenges. With limited resources, no research budget, and even a lack of basic equipment needed to diagnose childhood cancers, he knew more was needed for children and families facing a diagnosis. Determined to build a pediatric oncology research program, Dr. Ragab turned to the community for support. Members of the Atlanta Alumnae chapter of Tri Delta and parents of his patients came together to fund the purchase of a microscope needed to advance childhood cancer care. Their efforts led to the creation of a Georgia nonprofit that would eventually become CURE Childhood Cancer. More than 50 years later, Dr. Ragab's impact continues to be felt in remarkable ways: 💛 Kate Bellamy, CURE's Coordinator for Patient & Family Services and a childhood cancer survivor, was once one of Dr. Ragab's patients. Decades later, he still kept a framed photo of the two of them in his office in Egypt. 🎗Recently, our Patient & Family Services team in Savannah met a nurse practitioner whose aunt was treated by Dr. Ragab after being diagnosed with childhood cancer in the late 1970s. These connections are a powerful reminder that Dr. Ragab's influence extends far beyond the organization he founded. It lives on in survivors, families, healthcare professionals, researchers, and advocates working to improve outcomes for children with cancer. As we recognize Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, we're grateful for the vision that started it all and for the countless lives that continue to be changed because one physician believed children with cancer deserved more. #CUREChildhoodCancer #ChildhoodCancerAwarenessMonth #ChildhoodCancerResearch
