Donate Now

CURE BEARS FOR HOPE AND LOVE sends bears to children with cancer within the United States and Canada.  Please support the efforts of the team in this walk and help us raise money for this organization that supports children with cancer.

Please join us in the fundraising effort for CURE Childhood Cancer Association.


CURE Childhood Cancer Association is a local Rochester organization that was formed in 1976 by a group of bereaved parents. These parents were pioneers in providing a resource to other parents coping with childhood cancer. The organization was formed with the mission of providing Counseling Understanding Research and Education.

Thirty eight years later, CURE provides financial, educational, emotional and social assistance to families coping with childhood cancer and chronic blood disorders. CURE is there to meet the very specific needs of these families, who depend upon the services that CURE provides.


 

When: Saturday, April 25th - registration begins at 8 AM

Where: Seneca Park

Why: To make a difference to local families coping with childhood cancer and chronic blood disorders. YOU can participate and help to raise money to assist families with parking at the hospital, gifts and food for their families during the holidays, activities and parties that help these children forget what they are going through for a little while and MUCH MUCH more...

We help close to 800 LOCAL families per year! Last year, we saved families over $50,000 in parking fees at the hospital, helped families attend important medical appointments with the help of over $700 in gas gift cards and ensured the family had food through providing over $1,400 in food gift cards. These are just a small handful of the services we provide for our families.

YOU can be providing the funding needed to help these families shoulder the burden they suddenly find themselves under when their child is diagnosed with cancer.​

Team Member Stories

Randy Stiefler

In the Rochester New York area there are approximately 70 children diagnosed each year with cancer and additionally that same story is going on in many other towns and cities.  I want to support these children and those that are being diagnosed in many other towns and cities.

One program that can use some support is the program CURE Bears for Hope and Love that sends bears to children with cancer and hope that many will donate towards my fundraising efforts and this team so that no child is alone during their battle with cancer.
