The Children’s Cancer Association received a $2,500 grant from The Equity Group Foundation, the charitable foundation of RE/MAX equity group, to help support their bi-lingual LifeSupport Family Enrichment Program.

Founded more than a decade ago by a family who has been there, the Children’s Cancer Association brings JoyRx to seriously ill children and their families, in the hospital and at home. When families need support, CCA is there with award-winning programs and resources, available at no cost to those in need, in Oregon and SW Washington. CCA was established in loving memory of five-year-old Alexandra Ellis who courageously fought cancer for two and a half years before she died on May 7, 1995.

The bi-lingual LifeSupport family Enrichment Program brings hope, joy and understanding during an overwhelming and financially depleting journey. LifeSupport helps local families with specific essential needs, provides direct links to hundreds of local and national resources, offers funeral assistance and bereavement support and responds with yes when a child’s special wish is not met by other organizations. LifeSupport fills the gaps when and where Oregon and Southwest Washington families need it most.
