Crafts for Cancer~ Our Story
Crafts for Cancer is a non-profit organization that raises money for childhood cancer research by selling homemade crafts and baked goods.
We are a group of kids that started this organization 5 years ago, when we were in 2rd grade. Our inspiration was a friend who was diagnosed with ALL T cell cancer in second grade. It is a type of leukemia. We didn't want what happened to him to happen to other kids, so we started Crafts for Cancer. Since then, we have raised $6,344 for cancer research. Our goal is to help find a cure for cancer and not let what happened to our friend happen to anyone else.
Three years ago, in fourth grade, we hit $1,000 and got pulled out of school to go visit the Denver cancer research lab where we got a nitrogen freezer named after us. Since then, we have been featured in a magazine, local news, and Childrens Hospital Colorado's website. Upcoming sale dates will be posted in bold on our home page. You can buy a craft today and show your support by sending us a email in our comment box.
