We’re dressing up to help raise awareness for childhood cancer and showing our support for the brave kids and families who face cancer every day. If you/your child has an appointment during the month of September, feel free to join the fun!🎗️🌟

But we’re not stopping at dressing up! We’re also hosting a clothing drive to turn our closets into kindness.

Have clothes you no longer need? DONATE THEM! 👕👚
Every bag of gently used clothing helps support our cause and makes a difference.

📣 Donate. Share. Dress up. Make a difference.
Together, we can make a big impact for our smallest superheroes.
