[vc_row full_width=”stretch_row”][vc_column][vc_column_text]100% of the funds go to improve the quality of life for a child in treatment . . . Every donation, regardless of amount, is significant and has a profound impact on the lives of our Superhero Kids. It is for this reason, that Superhero Kids wants every donor to know how their generous donation actually and directly benefits the children and families of children in treatment at the Children’s Blood and Cancer Center, not simply that the donation is used to benefit the children and their families, but just how that donation is used.
Superhero Kids provides the opportunity to allow donors to see exactly where their donation is going and how it is benefiting the children and families of the CBCC on a real time basis. Superhero Kids also provides the opportunity for donations “in honor of” or “in memory of” a person who is special to you.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]
