Annual Report
July 2005-June
2006
During the year that I was Board of Directors Chairman there were many challenges within Children’s Chance. We had many long-term members who rolled off of the board and some members that left to pursue other interests. This was an overwhelming challenge for the board members that stayed and for me as the new Chairman to locate qualified, knowledgeable, and passionate board members to help lead the organization. The board looked into finding more members that had direct experience with pediatric cancer and community members who would fit into this unique board. I think that Children’s Chance and the families that we serve were very lucky that we were able to find the people that fit this criteria. (see page 16 for a list of current board members)
Another challenge was the turnover of the Executive Director position. Children’s Chance had to face the challenge of running a non-profit without an Executive Director for eight months. I am proud to say that with knowledge of our board members and the skills of Samantha Higgins, the Public Relations Director, Children’s Chance continued to serve families.
Although Children’s Chance faced many challenges over the year there were many accomplishments. Children’s Chance was awarded the SC Cancer Alliance 2006 Excellence in Family and Survivorship Award. Children’s Chance was also overwhelmed with the Billy Mill Golf Tournament. This tournament was the largest that we have had in the 9 year history. With over 150 players raising more that $60,000.00!!! We are grateful to the Mill Family for their continued support.
At the end of my Chairmanship, I stepped down to become the Executive Director of Children’s Chance. I am grateful to the board for having confidence in me to lead them as the Chair and now help carry out the goals established by the board.
I can not tell you how much Children’s Chance has meant to me personally over the past four years. When my son, Stefen, was diagnosed with cancer I never knew the impact that Children’s Chance would have on my life.
I look forward to Children’s Chance continued growth!
Sincerely,
DeeAnn Jones
Chairman of the Board, 2005-2006
The Children’s Chance Board of Directors consists of a broad mix of people who for many reasons, care passionately about children with cancer and their families. Children’s Chance proudly maintains a board of directors with at least 51% of members being either a parent of a child with cancer, a pediatric cancer survivor, or caregiver to children with cancer. Our Board members definitely accept the realities of running a non-profit organization and have taken strong steps to continually make a difference for children and families facing pediatric cancer. We would like to take this opportunity to thank each and every one of the Children’s Chance past and present Board of Directors! Please see the 2005 ~ 2006 Children’s Chance Board of Directors listed below.

We want to offer a special thank you to everyone who helped make our programs possible by dedicating endless amounts of time and resources. Because of your support, we are able to reach more families facing pediatric cancer every year. Please remember that it is only through you that we can make a difference in the lives of these families and continue offering our programs and services.

Children’s Chance Funded Programs:
Children’s Chance raises money to fund programs and provides services and resources that assist South Carolina children with cancer and their families. These programs are administered directly through the Children’s Chance office by providing families with discretionary and angel funds, as well as programs funded by Children’s Chance at three oncology clinics throughout the state; Palmetto Health Richland in Columbia, The Medical University of South Carolina in Charleston, and The Greenville Children’s Hospital in Greenville. We work with the staff at these clinics to ensure our funds are making a difference in the lives of these families. Children’s Chance is the only statewide organization that offers programs that focus completely on non-medical needs for the entire family during a child’s cancer treatment and recovery. The psychological, emotional, and financial programs we fund are critical to helping families stay intact and functional during and after a child’s cancer treatment.
Discretionary Funds, made available directly through the Children’s Chance office, help relieve the financial burden families face during a child’s cancer treatment, and allow families to “just be a family” and focus on helping their child recover. Some examples of how these funds assist include paying mortgage bills, electric bills, car repairs, and other everyday non-medical living expenses. Discretionary funds are available directly through the Children’s Chance office for any family in South Carolina who has a child with cancer regardless of where that child is treated.
Angel Funds, also available directly through the Children’s Chance office, provide families with immediate “out of pocket” living needs such as gas and food cards. These funds are helpful to families who spend time in hospitals away from the comforts of home. Angel funds allow families to travel to and from clinic appointments without the worry of paying for gas and food. Angel Funds are also available directly through the Children’s Chance office for any family in South Carolina who has a child with cancer regardless of where that child is treated.
The Ryan Crout Art Therapy Program, available through Palmetto Health’s Center for Cancer and Blood Disorders, offers children with cancer an opportunity to express their creativity, desire for normalcy and hope, through drawing and painting. It also provides children and their siblings a pleasant distraction from the hospital setting.
The Children’s Chance Counseling Program, provided through the Children’s Chance office, and funded by the Lance Armstrong Foundation and the Lipscomb Family Foundation, pays for counseling by a certified counselor for children with cancer and their immediate families. The purpose of this valuable program is to provide emotional support to help families manage the intensity of cancer treatment and any subsequent challenges that result from the cancer.
The Sibling Program, administered through the Children’s Hospital of the Greenville Hospital Systems, provides a support group for siblings ages 7-12, coping with a brother or sister who has been diagnosed with cancer or a blood disorder. This program allows the sibling the opportunity to express their feelings, concerns, and questions about the treatment their brother or sister is receiving.
Teen Support Programs
provide a place for teens
to “just be teens” during and after cancer treatment,
and allows them to talk about the challenges of cancer
with their peers. Through the funding for these
programs, trips like places to the beach or
mountains are offered to the participants.
The following are teen support groups sponsored by Children’s Chance:
Lasting Impressions at Palmetto Health Richland in Columbia, SC
SCAT (Surviving Cancer All Together) at Greenville Hospital Systems in Greenville, SC
Can-Teen at Medical University of South Carolina in Charleston, SC
Community Support:
Childhood Cancer Awareness Month
September is nationally recognized as Pediatric Cancer Awareness
Month. Many local restaurants, businesses, schools, and community
organizations raised money and took time to honor or remember
children with cancer in special ways. Children’s Chance hosted a
Childhood Cancer Awareness Month Ceremony at Edventure to
honor and remember those affected by pediatric cancer.
Carolina Q Cup Backyard BBQ Contest
Children’s Chance teamed up with the SC BBQ Association to participate in the Backyard BBQ Division of the Carolina Q Cup. Families who had a child with cancer competed by making their own sauce and cooking chickens, to see who really had the best backyard BBQ.
An Evening with the Gamecocks
Through the generosity of Coach Steve Spurrier
and his staff, children with cancer and their families
were able to meet and spend time with the USC
Gamecock Football players, coaches, and staff.
Players and children enjoyed an evening of signing autographs,
taking pictures, eating dinner, and just having fun.
It was truly an unforgettable evening that these families
look forward to each and every year.
We
would like to say a special thank you to the USC Football Department, Coach
Spurrier, and the players for their continued support each and every year and
the great job they do lighting up the lives of these special kids!!!
Fundraisers
Children’s Chance has several annual fundraisers throughout the year, and we appreciate the continued community support which allows our special events to be successful every year. Thank you to all the individuals who donate their time, talent, and resources to assist with special events and fundraisers – you know who you are!
Some fundraisers include:
Varsity Men’s Soccer Team, under the leadership of
Coach Mark Berson, continue to put on a fantastic soccer
clinic to teach children and parents the fundamentals of
the game of soccer. The Child and Parent Soccer Clinic
raised over $2,800 this year for Children’s Chance, and it
continues to be a very popular event for aspiring
young soccer players.
Billy Mill Charity Golf
Classic -Thanks
to the continued
generosity of the Mill Family, PASCO, and the Junior Woman’s
Club, in the past 9 years this annual event has raised over
$318,000 for Children’s Chance. Held at The Country Club of
Lexington, The Billy Mill Charity Golf Classic has been attended
by players throughout the nation and local celebrities.
The 2006
tournament was held on June 5, and raised a record
of over $63,000. Over 145 players participated, the highest
number yet. The
2007 tournament will be held on May 21st.
Golfers of all levels and sponsors are encouraged to be
part of this signature event.
Zig the Pig:
As of October 2004, Zig the Pig became its own separate non-profit organization. For every dollar placed in a Ziggybank™, Children’s Chance receives 54¢.
