Annual Report
July 1, 2007 ~ June 30, 2008
Dear Friends of Children’s Chance
In September of 1996, two mothers struggling with their daughters' battles with cancer, came together to form Children's Chance. The organization was started to fill in gaps among the current services provided for pediatric cancer patients and their families. Since then, Children’s Chance has assisted families statewide with non medical needs by funding a variety of programs. The programs (listed on pages 3-5) address the financial, psychological, and emotional needs of the pediatric cancer patients and their families.
Since Children’s Chance opened its doors, approximately 1,650 families have received services through our efforts. However, over the last year we have experienced an increase in requests for assistance. We must continue to increase our efforts to ensure that South Carolina Families facing pediatric cancer continue to have the support that they need while fighting this dreadful disease. Unfortunately, the cause of childhood cancer is largely unknown and without knowledge of how to prevent it, these figures will only continue to grow.
I want to give special thanks to all of our generous donors who continue to work with us year after year and without whom we could not be in existence. In addition, I am so pleased and thankful for the new donors and volunteers who have joined us in our venture this year. I want to also thank our Board of Directors who work as un-paid staff members in carrying out the goals and objectives of this organization.
I firmly believe that with the continued support of the people of our great state, we will continue to increase the survivorship of cancer victims and perhaps totally eradicate the disease. In closing, I have been fortunate enough to have served as the Chairperson of this outstanding organization over the last year and a half. Although I have not personally experienced cancer nor have I had a child with the disease, I have learned from the bravery of the families and children that have been affected by this disease. They will forever be heroes of mine.
Sincerely,

John Moore
Board Chairperson
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 33% 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 2007 ~ 2008 Children’s Chance Board of Directors listed below. For a list of current Board of Directors see page 15.

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.
Following are the programs and services Children’s Chance was able to provide during this reporting year:
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
Bereavement Program is to provide ongoing support to the families whose children have died from cancer during the past two years.
Neuro-Oncology Clinic is to provide a comprehensive assessment of children with brain tumors.
Family Weekend is a program for children who have been diagnosed with cancer during the past two years and their families. The program helps the families enhance their coping skills, reduce the isolation among the families and within the families, and reduce individual and family stress.
Transition Recovery After Cancer Clinic is to provide a comprehensive assessment and educational plan for pediatric cancer survivors.
Pre-Teen Support an adolescent support group for pre-teens with cancer to relate to their peers who are going through the same thing.
Child Life in Bone Marrow Transplant (BMT) serves to help children build coping skills, knowledge and social experiences so that patients and families may feel better prepared for their BMT experience, learn from one another, and know that they are not alone in their journey.
Community Support:
Childhood Cancer Awareness Month
September is nationally recognized as Childhood 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 partnered with
EarthFare and Pizza Hut to raise money and awareness and
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 have a child with cancer competed by making their
own sauce and cooking chickens, to see who really had the best
backyard BBQ. Brock Schermerhorn was our proud winner at this
year’s event!
“An Evening with the Gamecocks”
Every year, Children’s Chance teams up with The
University of South Carolina to hold the ever so popular,
“An Evening with the Gamecocks” event with the football team.
This is an event where kids with cancer and their families get to
spend a special evening with the USC Football Team and
Coaches by watching practice, eating dinner, getting autographs,
and taking pictures with players. Families look forward to this event
all year, as does the football team and coaches. “An Evening with the
Gamecocks” is one of the best and most popular event that Children’s
Chance provides to kids with cancer and their families.
Thank you to USC and the Football Department for making this happen! Go Gamecocks!

Zig the Pig:
Zig is the lovable, zebra striped ambassador for Children’s Chance. He knows he has a very important job – helping kids with cancer. Through his book, Zig Goes to School, he tells his story about cancer and the importance of friendships and giving back to your community. Zig may be adopted in the form of ziggybanks by schools, community groups, businesses, churches, etc, to help him raise money for SC children with cancer and their families.
