Help the kids in CCChampions give back!

At CCChampions, we help kids with cancer through year-long friendships with inspirational role models. Whenever a child is newly diagnosed, we ask them "What do you want to be when you grow up?" We then find that special someone to be there every step of the way.

​So far we've matched kids with...
​teachers, police officers, athletes, video game designers, bookstore owners, nurses, and even rodeo cowgirls!

A few of the kids who are alums in CCChampions decided they wanted to help a newly diagnosed kid have a friendship just like theirs!
