Childhood Cancer Foundation sponsored a Spring Egg Hunt on Saturday, April 12, 2014 at the Yucaipa Community Park for children who have cancer and their families. Over 200 participants joined in the Spring bash. A special guest, the Easter Bunny, was at the park with over 6,000 stuffed plastic eggs and Easter baskets for all the children. The Easter Bunny lead the children in a variety of group games and dances that included the “Hokey Pokey.” Cardenas Markets Catering sponsored the food for the event. Donors also included the Art Institute of California – Inland Empire, the Medina Family, Pet Partners, DJ Toby Bates, George & Sharon Apkner, Arlene Barton & Auxiliary Unit #777, Ramrod Senior Center, National Charity League, Lisa Bates & Friends, Elena Klopfer, Air Force Security Forces, Valerie Villegas, and the Brierty Family. Families reunited with other families that have gone through similar circumstances while the kids enjoyed a day of Spring fun. Every smile makes all our hard work worth it. You can’t help but smile yourself when you see the patients and their siblings having a blast. All of our events are made possible through the countless support of our volunteers. Volunteer information and general information about Childhood Cancer Foundation of Southern California can be found online at the CCFSC website, www.ccfsocal.org. CCFSC is also available via phone (909) 558-3419 or email, kids@ccfsocal.org. Receiving non-profit status in September of 1981, Childhood Cancer Foundation of Southern California, Inc. (CCFSC) is now more than 700 families strong committed to serving children with cancer and their families throughout Southern California emotionally, financially, educationally and with emergency assistance. CCFSC works directly with the families to identify their need for support. Communication with another family experiencing this devastating disease is very beneficial and CCFSC family events and activities provide this support.
