structure. By the age of 20, one child or teen in 330 is diagnosed in the United States.
More children die of cancer than of any other disease, including asthma, diabetes, cystic
fibrosis, congenital anomalies and AIDS, COMBINED.

Halloween Party

Every Fall Childhood Cancer Foundation of Southern California invites
families to join them for their Annual
Halloween Party. This year, Greenspot
Farm in Mentone, welcomed the
group of over 100 children and their
parents to enjoy an afternoon of family fun on October 19th.
Children arrived in their best costumes as they enjoyed a tractor ride,
trips to the petting zoo, games, light
refreshments and more. Riverside City
College Cosmetology students joined
in the event festivities by providing
face painting for all guests. CCFSC also
provided Halloween decorations and
gifts for all the children to take home
along with a pumpkin fit for carving.
The Halloween Party is such a special
outing for our little ones and their
families. We put all these families together and give them hope. The newly diagnosed families see other kids
who have made it, they’re older and
it gives them the hope that their kids
will soon arrive to where they are. It
takes away a lot of fear.
A special thank you to: Greenspot
Farm, National Charity League, Edison
Volunteers, CCFSC Volunteers, George
and Sharon Apker, Judy Wescott – Kiwanis, RCC Cosmetology and Jarritos
for making this event possible.

los nuevos diagnósticos conocen a otros niños que han sobrevivido y terminado
tratamiento, son mayores y les da la esperanza de que sus hijos lleguen pronto a
donde están ellos. Eliminamos un poco el miedo del diagnóstico.

through all the children who received one.

2014 CALENDAR UNVEILING PARTY
December 11, 2013
Childhood Cancer Foundation unveiled the 2014 “When I Grow Up” Calendar on
December 11 at the Loma Linda University Children’s Hospital. The 2014 Calendar
features 12 beautiful child models pictured in scenes capturing their dreams for
when they “grow up.” Although our models represent various professions, they
share a common bond: cancer. Every three and a half minutes a parent hears the
devastating news, “Your child has cancer.” With these words, normal life stops and
a difficult new journey begins; a journey that will test families physically, emotionally, socially, and financially. The children and families we are so privileged to
serve come from all corners of our community and from all different backgrounds
and circumstances, cancer knows no race or economic status. The focus of the
calendar is to highlight how all these children share a bond of Hope through every dream for the future. Featured in the cover shot is Francisco Avina, age 5 and
members of the San Manuel Fire Department. San Manuel Band of Mission Indians has sponsored the production of the calendar. Sponsors and donors also
include: Johnny Jaquez Photography, Kissui Baby and Children Boutique, State
Farm – Loma Linda, The Art Institute-Inland Empire, Chaparral Motorsports, San
Manuel Fire Department, City of San Bernardino Water Department, Sturges Center for the Fine Arts, and Loma Linda Pediatric Hematology Oncology.

nuestros modelos representan diferentes profesiones, comparten algo en común:
cáncer. Cada tres minutos y medio un padre escucha la devastadora noticia: “Tu
hijo tiene cáncer.” Con estas palabras, se detiene la vida normal y comienza un
nuevo viaje difícil, un viaje que pondrá a prueba las familias físicamente, emocionalmente, socialmente y económicamente. Los niños y las familias que tenemos
el privilegio de servir vienen de todos los rincones de nuestra comunidad y de
todos los orígenes y circunstancias, el cáncer no distingue entre raza o situación
económica. El objetivo del calendario es demonstrar la forma en que comparten
esperanza entre cada sueño para el futuro. Incluyidos en la foto de portada es
Francisco Avina, de 5 años y los miembros del Departamento de Bomberos de
San Manuel. San Manuel Band of Mission Indians ha patrocinado la producción
