At Ring the Bell Benefit, one of the most special moments of the evening is the presentation of the Heart of Gold Award. 💛 Created in memory of Monica Sandoval, the award recognizes the extraordinary friendships that so often sustain children and families through childhood cancer. When Reese was fighting cancer at just 10 months old, Monica was like a big sister to her and many of the younger children she met during treatment. Even while facing her own cancer journey, Monica filled hospital days with joy, encouragement, and kindness, always making time to check in on others. Today, Monica's legacy lives on through an award that's passed from one recipient to the next, honoring those who show up for others with remarkable kindness. As we gather to support Reese's Fund, we also celebrate the friendships that emerge in hospital hallways, clinic waiting rooms, and treatment floors. For many children facing cancer, these relationships become a source of understanding, laughter, and strength during some of life's hardest moments. The Heart of Gold Award honors those extraordinary friends whose kindness leaves a lasting impact, just as Monica's did. 💛 A special thank you to our Presenting Sponsors—Voyles Automotive, Glover Park Brewery, Poole's Pharmacy, and Encore Hospitality Carpet—and our Gold and Silver Sponsors. Your support helps make Ring the Bell Benefit possible and allows Reese's Fund to continue supporting children with cancer and advancing critical childhood cancer research. #CUREChildhoodCancer #RingTheBellBenefit #ChildhoodCancerResearch #ChildhoodCancerAwareness #Friendship #HeartofGold

What happens when people who dedicate their lives to protecting others show up for children fighting cancer? A powerful display of service, generosity, and courage.

From firefighters who completed the race in full turnout gear, to law enforcement officers and military members who joined them, your commitment to serving others extended far beyond the finish line. We're honored that so many brave men and women who protect their communities chose to support equally brave children battling cancer. Every step taken and every dollar raised will help CURE fund critical childhood cancer research and provide support to children and families affected by cancer. #CUREChildhoodCancer #ChildhoodCancerAwareness #ColumbusGA #PublicService #ProudtoServe #FirstResponders #MilitaryCommunity

Over the weekend, we reflected on the life and legacy of Addison Lakely Tomberlin, known and loved by so many as Addy. Her bright spirit, infectious smile, and ability to bring joy to those around her continue to leave a lasting mark on everyone who knew her. Addy earned her wings in 2023, but her impact continues to be felt far beyond her time here. Today, we honor Addy's memory and the legacy that lives on through Addy's Army Fund. Established in her honor, the fund advances childhood cancer research with a focus on innovative treatments that are more effective and less harmful to growing bodies, while also supporting programs that care for children and families affected by childhood cancer. One of the most meaningful examples of Addy's enduring impact came earlier this month at the inaugural After Addy's Party. Thanks to an outpouring of support from the Amelia Island community, sponsors, donors, and attendees, more than $250,000 was raised in her memory to help children and families facing childhood cancer. As we reflect on Addy's life, we are grateful for the many people carrying her legacy forward. Through research funded, families supported, and a community united in her memory, her impact continues to reach children and families today. 💛 #CUREChildhoodCancer #ChildhoodCancerResearch #AddysArmy #ChildhoodCancerAwarenessMonth #ChildhoodCancerAwareness

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

Please join us in wishing Reese a very happy 11th birthday! 🎉💛 At just 10 months old, Reese was diagnosed with stage 4 malignant tumor at the base of her spine, and began a difficult journey through treatment at Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta. After surgery and months of care, she rang the bell in 2016, celebrating the end of treatment and a hard-fought victory. Today, Reese is an energetic 5th grader who keeps busy on the soccer field, strumming her guitar, taking the stage in school productions, and making the most of every moment that childhood has to offer. Through Reese’s Fund, Reese and her family are helping advance research for childhood solid tumors, honoring the medical team that saved her life and creating better outcomes for children facing cancer. As we celebrate Reese today, we're also grateful for the impact her story continues to make on childhood cancer research and the families it serves. 💛 Learn more about Reese's Fund on our website! #CUREChildhoodCancer #ChildhoodCancerAwarenessMonth #ChildhoodCancerAwareness #ChildhoodCancerResearch #ChildhoodCancerSurvivor

Today, we remember Anna Charles Hollis, a bright, spirited little girl whose life touched so many. Known to family and friends as “AC,” she brought sunshine, smiles, determination, and joy wherever she went. Though she lost her battle with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) in 2018, her positive influence continues to be felt. Established in her honor, the Anna Charles Hollis Fund supports research focused on AML and discoveries that may lead to better treatments and outcomes for children facing this cancer. As we honor Anna Charles today, we celebrate the lasting impact of her legacy. Through research, advocacy, and the generosity of those who support her fund, her story continues to drive progress for children diagnosed with AML and their families. 💛 #ChildhoodCancerAwarenessMonth #CUREChildhoodCancer #ChildhoodCancerAwareness #ChildhoodCancerResearch

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

This month, we remember Mary Elizabeth Paris, whose determination in the face of unimaginable challenges left a lasting mark on everyone who followed her story. Diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) at age 11, she endured years of treatment, multiple bone marrow transplants, and unimaginable complications with remarkable determination. Along the way, hundreds of thousands followed her journey, inspired by her resilience, her love for her family, and the way she continued to find joy even in the hardest moments. Her story brought widespread awareness to the realities of childhood cancer and continues to inspire action today. We also remember Melissa and Lake, two extraordinary children whose lives became forever connected to Mary Elizabeth through a shared diagnosis of AML and a friendship that united three families. Together, their legacies live on through the United for a CURE Fund, which supports critical AML research and helps advance better treatments for children facing this disease.

We recently observed the anniversary of the passing of Anna Hanger, an extraordinary young woman whose kindness and selflessness continues to inspire us today. After facing a brain tumor diagnosis, years of treatment, and significant long-term health challenges, Anna remained focused on helping others. When friends and family asked what they could do for her, she encouraged them to give to other children with cancer instead. That generosity became Anna’s Angel Fund, which has provided support to countless families and has raised more than $600,000 for children affected by pediatric cancer. Anna’s legacy lives on through the lives she touched and the example she set. Her compassion, resilience, and commitment to making life better for others continue to remind us of the extraordinary impact one person can have. 💛 #CUREChildhoodCancer #ChildhoodCancerAwarenessMonth

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

Rhea's resilience and determination, along with her love for the game of softball, are just a few of the reasons we're honored to celebrate her at Catie's Gathering Bryan County. 💛 Last year, Rhea was honored at CURE's Believe Ball. Around the same time, her family received difficult news: her cancer had relapsed, and they were faced with important treatment decisions as they searched for the best path forward. Today, thanks to a clinical trial and the research behind it, her family reports that she has no active cancer detected. She's back on the softball field doing what she loves. Her mom says watching her return to the game was one of the most meaningful moments of their family's journey. When asked about her future, Rhea keeps it simple: get better, keep working hard, and one day play softball in college. Stories like Rhea's are why events like Catie's Gathering matter. Every ticket, sponsorship, and donation helps fund childhood cancer research and provide support for families navigating cancer treatment. Join us in Bryan County as we celebrate children like Rhea and invest in a future where more kids can get back to being kids. #CUREChildhoodCancer #ChildhoodCancerAwareness #ChildhoodCancerWarrior #CatiesGathering #CatiesFund #CatiesGatheringBryanCounty

Thank you to the Columbus Clingstones @goclingstones for hosting such a memorable Family Night for children battling cancer. Saturday’s game was a powerful reminder that no family fights childhood cancer alone. The evening brought families together for fun, connection, and shared memories, surrounded by a community that stands with them. 💛 The support extended far beyond the ballpark, with the Clingstones community raising an incredible $10,000 through the night’s auction to help fund critical childhood cancer research and family support programs. Thank you for helping create moments of joy while making a meaningful impact in the fight against childhood cancer. 🎗️ #CUREChildhoodCancer #ChildhoodCancerAwareness #ColumbusClingstones #CommunityImpact

Today, we remember Jesselyn "JessZilla" Silva. A gifted young boxer with an unforgettable spirit, Jesselyn inspired everyone around her with her determination, confidence, and courage. After being diagnosed with an aggressive brain cancer, she faced challenges far greater than any opponent she encountered in the ring, becoming an advocate and inspiration to others along the way. On the anniversary of her passing, we remember a remarkable young girl whose legacy lives on through the JessZilla Fund at CURE Childhood Cancer. Created by her family in her honor, the fund supports research for childhood brain cancers DMG and DIPG, helping advance the search for better treatments for children diagnosed with these rare and aggressive brain tumors. Today and every day, we honor Jesselyn by carrying her fighting spirit forward and investing in research that can change the future for children facing these diseases. #CUREChildhoodCancer #ChildhoodCancerAwareness #ChildhoodCancerResearch
