Donor-Powered Progress Against Childhood Cancer |
|
|---|
|
Last month, ELEVATE made its
first-ever research investment—thanks to
your incredible support.
|
|
Fundraisers like
Cruising Out Childhood Cancer, led by Keaton’s family–an Elevate
kid Representative, and the
Match the Donation campaign in honor of Justin Spoon made this rhabdomyosarcoma research possible.
|
|
|---|
|
A heartfelt thanks to the
generous donor who matched gifts—you're
helping drive critical research for children and adolescents facing rhabdomyosarcoma and osteosarcoma.
|

|
We’re gearing up for our
next research investment!
While the project is still being determined,
your support can help
ensure we’re
ready to fund the next critical breakthrough. |

Advocating for More Research Dollars |

Elevate, a proud founding member of the Indiana Pediatric Cancer Coalition (IPCC) has joined forces with other families and organizations to help educate legislators about the need for new treatments for kids with cancer—HB1453 in Indiana would create a fund to grant money for novel therapy development for pediatric cancer!
|
|
This legislation was
signed this past Friday by the Governor and is now a law! Elevate is committed to uniting families and foundations to drive similar efforts in other states, creating real, nationwide change.
Let’s keep the momentum going and
let kids be kids!
Interested in getting involved with IPCC?

Thanks to
your generous support, ELEVATE is delivering on providing high-quality educational resources. |

To kick off Kidney Cancer Awareness Month, we partnered with genetic expert Joyce Turner, MS, CGC, of Children's National in DC and our Elevate Wilms workgroup to launch a new webinar:
Understanding the Genetic Puzzle of Wilms Tumor—now live on ELEVATE’s YouTube channel.

This resource empowers advocates, educates families, and equips providers with the latest information to support child-centered care and drive progress toward
more effective, less toxic treatments for better outcomes.

Elevate’s Board Secretary, Amy Meinch was deeply humbled by the outpouring of support from those who contributed to the March Action campaign in honor of what should have been her daughter Kalina’s 12th birthday. Your generosity turned a moment of remembrance into a powerful force for good.
We are equally overwhelmed by those who have chosen to make monthly recurring donations.
Your
ongoing support provides the stability needed to
expedite best care possible for those diagnosed with childhood cancers, like Wilms tumor.

Thanks to
your generous support, Elevate and our community are making
powerful progress—equipping advocates to speak louder, act bolder, and drive real change. Through Elevate Voices, those impacted by childhood cancer are sharing their stories, lifting one another up, and inspiring our entire community to do more, together, so we empower, advocate and invest!

This month, we heard from Mackenzie—a sarcoma survivor—who bravely shared her story alongside her mom, Bonnie. Bonnie flew home from halfway around the world upon learning of her daughter’s diagnosis: a malignant desmoid tumor.
Their Elevate Voice is a powerful testament to why
every voice matters—and how,
together, we can
unite
support of children and adolescents diagnosed with childhood cancer.

Come spend an unforgettable night where music turns into hope. |
|
We'll sing, toast and stand together to lift up brighter futures for kids facing cancer–because
every note and
every cheer brings us closer to better treatments and the chance to just
let kids be kids.
Everyone is welcome to come and enjoy a memorable night of music performed by emerging musicians from the region (Nashville, TN, Indianapolis, IN, Columbus, IN) and featuring short sets of many genres, including country, pop-rock, and Americana!
Enjoy some of your favorite covers and be the first to hear original music from this talented group of musicians!
