Make A Wish

September is Pediatric Cancer Awareness Month

Although there are many diseases that can affect children, childhood cancer is the leading cause of death from disease in children under the age of 15. While researchers are making great progress in the search for a cure, they need more funding to continue their work.  For this reason, each September during Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, organizations rally to increase visibility of pediatric cancer in our communities.  Many children are affected by dreadful variations of cancer each year and fight a difficult journey to beat it.

So, PS-Stearns was honored this month to participate in an event that supported the MAKE-A -WISH foundation through consumer connections. As you know, the Make-A-Wish Foundation is a non-profit organization that grants the wishes of children with life-threatening medical conditions.

StraightTalk Wireless coordinated an effort at WalMart retailers geared toward bringing sunshine to children affected by cancer and other diseases. Basically, Straight Talk provided Make-A-Wish a $1 donation for every consumer that listened to Brand Ambassadors speak of the products and services offered by StraighTalk.

That was it?!!! Wow!!! The goal: $1,000,000.00

What a wonderful project for the month of September!!

Thanks StraightTalk for your donation to Make-A-Wish!
