The Childhood Cancer Foundation of Southern California (CCFSC) today announced that it has received a $25,000 grant from the San Manuel Band of Mission Indians. The funds will support core programs of the Childhood Cancer Foundation, including the Christmas Celebration, 2014 Calendar and the Family Assistance Program. The funds will be used to further sustain the organization’s efforts to make support programs accessible to families who have a child with cancer. Childhood Cancer Foundation Executive Director Armida Kersey commented on the San Manuel gift. “We are very pleased and grateful. This is a wonderful gift, and we celebrate it as recognition of the long-term alignment and friendship between San Manuel Band of Mission Indians and Childhood Cancer Foundation of Southern California. Both organizations are committed to prevention and health information projects, and direct health services for families in need.” Childhood Cancer Foundation’s support comes primarily from individual donations made by community supporters.
