Superhero Kids - Supporting the Children's Blood and Cancer at Dell Children's Medical Center
Who We Are
Our Mission
Supporting children and families battling cancer and blood disorders.
Superhero Kids provides funding for the Children’s Blood and Cancer Center (CBCC) at Dell Children’s Medical Center to enhance the quality of life for patients and their families during treatment. We are committed to raising awareness of the special needs of children fighting pediatric cancers and blood disorders, through our fundraising efforts, community partnerships, and the spirit of volunteerism.
About Us
Founded in December 2009, Superhero Kids supports children and families facing pediatric cancer and blood disorders at the Children’s Blood and Cancer Center (CBCC) of Central Texas.
When a child begins treatment, families often face overwhelming emotional and financial challenges that extend far beyond medical care. Superhero Kids helps ease this burden by providing funding for non-medical expenses and supportive programs that improve quality of life during treatment.

"Kicked Cancer Out of the Door!"
At just four feet tall and 54 pounds, Parker faced a diagnosis no family is ever prepared for: a malignant brain tumor. What followed was more than a year of surgeries, radiation, chemotherapy, and countless hospital visits at Dell Children’s Medical Center. He endured five surgeries, dozens of treatments, and unimaginable challenges — and came out the other side stronger. In 2010, Parker proudly declared that he had “kicked cancer out the door,” a victory made possible by courage, community, and compassionate care.

“Most people might think I wish I never had this disease, but it has given me so many opportunities.”
Cami was a bright, joyful teenager whose smile hid a lifelong battle with a rare blood disorder. When her illness forced her to step away from dance — a passion she loved deeply — she found healing in an unexpected place: Camp Rocky Ridge, a Superhero Kids–sponsored retreat for teens with cancer and blood disorders. The experience reminded her that she was not alone — and that even in illness, connection and joy are possible.

“I wouldn’t change a thing because of the knowledge and experience I gained — and most of all, the amazing people I met along the way.”
Diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia as a child, Dylan endured years of intensive treatment, complications, and multiple cord blood transplants. Today, Dylan gives back as a Superhero Kid, competing in the Livestrong Marathon and advocating for others facing childhood illness. His heartfelt letter to Jay Leno reflects the profound impact that compassion, connection, and the Superhero Kids Fund have had on his life — and on so many others.
