Childhood Cancer Foundation Announces 25000 Donation

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.

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.
