Special Thanks to the WLTX Gannett
Foundation...
Children's Chance
would like to thank the WLTX Gannett
Foundation for sponsoring the School
Supply Bash through a $2500 grant to
help kids with cancer and their siblings
with back to school supplies, helping to
relieve the financial burden families
who have a child with cancer face.
The event was a
huge success with over 30 families
attending and receiving all kinds of
cool school supplies to start their year
off with a bang. We appreciate the
generosity of WLTX and their continued
effort to help children fighting cancer
and their families throughout South
Carolina. |

Richland for cancer, pictured right, and
her sister, take a break from shopping
to smile and pose!
India's
mom states, "Thank you for giving
your time and support with these
supplies to help start the children's
school year off great."

Special Thanks
to WIS TV....
Children's Chance thanks WIS TV and
especially Susan Aude for their
continued support of South Carolina
families facing pediatric cancer. We are
proud to have participated in
"Celebrating Susan" on March 2, 2006, a
wonderful evening of appreciation for
such a beloved citizen of South
Carolina! We also thank the Bledsoe
family, especially Lee Bledsoe who was
our honored artist of the evening and
presented Susan with a special picture |
 |
made just for her. Lee is a
participant in the Ryan Crout Art Therapy
Program for children with cancer and blood
disorders at Palmetto Richland, funded by
Children's Chance.
