💜 Meet Emma, Team Summer’s very first kid from Maine! When Team Summer kid Camryn received her dream trip to Great Wolf Lodge, she kept the Chain of Giving going by nominating 6-year-old Emma, helping Team Summer expand into yet another new state. Emma, who is battling leukemia, received a brand new purple bike. The best part? She learned to ride it on her very first try! 🚲 Now she’s racing around the neighborhood with her big sister and friends, and even pushing through the tough days after treatment so she can ride her bike to school with the other kids. 💜 Every nomination grows our Team Summer family and reminds us why this mission matters.

BIG NEWS!! Team Summer has officially expanded into TWO new states: New Hampshire and Maine!! That means Team Summer kids have now surprised other children battling cancer in 39 states across the country. Look at all that PURPLE! And the incredible part? Once Team Summer reaches a new area, nominations tend to flood in… and that is EXACTLY what’s happening in New England! We’ve already received SIX new nominations with lots more on the way. Today, we’re launching an urgent $8,000 fundraiser to help us keep up with this amazing growth through the end of June! This incredible chain of giving takes us from Georgia… to Florida… to New Hampshire… and Maine. Stay tuned to hear the amazing story behind how this expansion happened! If you’d like to help Team Summer continue reaching and supporting children battling cancer, we would be so grateful for your support! LINK TO DONATE IN BIO 💜

✨ Introducing our new series — Where Are They Now? ✨ We’re kicking things off with Josiah — one of our very first Team Summer kids — and his story fills our hearts. 💛 From a brave 2½-year-old battling neuroblastoma — swipe to see little Josiah sitting with Summer — to a young man who never stopped fighting through years of medical challenges, his determination has carried him forward every step of the way. And today? He’s thriving — playing sports, standing tall, and becoming a State of Georgia High Jump Champion with an incredible 6’6″ jump! 🏆💪 The photo you see here shows Josiah proudly holding his state championship ring — a powerful symbol of perseverance and everything he’s overcome. 💍✨ We are SO proud of you, Josiah - our warrior, our friend, & a shining reminder of what resilience looks like. 💛 Want to help more kids like Josiah? 💕 Link in bio to Donate

Happy Birthday, Summer! 💜🎈🎂 Today she would have been 30, and what a wonderful reason to honor her! Summer knew that kids facing cancer needed each other. She created a way for them to connect and lift each other up. That simple idea grew into Team Summer. It’s a legacy full of friendship, joy, and hope for children facing cancer. Her inspiring spirit keeps making a difference, and today we celebrate her big heart!

✨ MATCHING CHALLENGE UPDATE — THE FINAL STRETCH! ✨ We’re $5,000 away from unlocking our full match and hitting our $20,000 goal! 💛 Thanks to 100+ incredible donors, we’re already 75% of the way there — and every dollar given now is matched 100% through Dec 31. Team Summer was created so no child with cancer ever feels alone. Your gift today doubles the impact and helps us support even more kids in 2026. This is the moment. Let’s finish strong. 💪✨ 🔗 Donate + double your impact. Link to donate in bio

Meet Camryn, Team Summer’s very first kid from New Hampshire! After spending more than a year battling leukemia and undergoing countless treatments, this brave 5-year-old was nominated by Team Summer kid Azalea in Florida, helping us expand into an exciting new state. Camryn’s surprise? A trip to Great Wolf Lodge — the indoor water park she had been dreaming of visiting! But the story doesn’t end there. As soon as Camryn became a Team Summer kid, she kept the chain of giving going by nominating 6-year-old Emma in Maine, helping Team Summer expand into yet another new state! Team Summer is on the move! From Florida to New Hampshire to Maine, we’re expanding one nomination at a time. Stay tuned for Emma’s story! 💜 #teamsummer #kidshelpingkidswithcancer #leukemiawarrior

Some stories really drive it home ⛳️💚 Carter, a sports-loving teen from Nebraska, was diagnosed with leukemia in June 2025 putting sports and normal teenage life on pause. Fellow Team Summer kid Emersyn knew he deserved something special and nominated him for a surprise. Thanks to your support of Team Summer, Carter received a brand new set of golf clubs and some fun golf gear to help him get back on the course. Here’s to sunshine, fairways, and a comeback that’s well above par! #teamsummer #leukemiawarrior

Meet Team Summer kid Scarlett! At only 12 years old, she has fought cancer not once, but twice. 💜 Knowing she loves animals, Team Summer kid Dominick helped surprise her with an unforgettable zoo adventure — including a private, behind-the-scenes encounter with some truly dangerous reptiles! 🐍 Scarlett was fearless and absolutely loved every minute of it! We’re thrilled to share an exciting update… we’ve recently heard that Scarlett is now officially cancer free. From fierce battles to daring reptiles — Scarlett conquers it all!
