Neuroblastoma is a particularly deadly form of pediatric cancer that strikes hundreds of precious infants and toddlers every year. What's more, research funds have been traditionally scarce for incurable cancers like neuroblastoma-which makes finding a cure next to impossible.
About Lunch for Life
The Lunch for Life campaign is a very simple way to support CNCF in its mission to find a cure for neuroblastoma through research funding, education and awareness programs. By donating your lunch money, $10 or $15 can help provide a child with less toxic treatment through new research funding; provide educational resources to the parents and caregivers and help spread the word “Neuroblastoma” to your friends, co-workers, business associates and members of the community.
Instead of going out to lunch, go without and donate to the Lunch for Life campaign in honor or memory of a special child. Give up a lunch a month and see the dollars add up while the pounds come off. Spread the word and start the chain of giving today.
Americans go out for lunch on average twice a week and spend $10 each time, according to Forbes magazine. Annually that adds up to close to $1,000. If you and your co-workers donated the $10 or $15 that you would’ve spent eating out – just once or twice a week – you could raise enough money to help send a family to CNCF’s annual parent conference or help fund a grant for a groundbreaking clinical trial and advanced treatment therapies that save lives. So bring your lunch today, instead, and donate your lunch money to Lunch for Life.
Service to others is an important lesson to teach our youth. At schools, Lunch for Life gives young people a purpose and cultivates within them a spirit of giving back. And, there’s nothing wrong with a little friendly competition. Classrooms can compete to see who can raise the most money for Lunch for Life. School clubs can make a pact to pack lunch for a day or two a week and donate their lunch money to Lunch for Life. Be creative and ask your school mates, teachers and faculty to commit to Lunch for Life today.
Ever wake up feeling grateful. Lunch for Life is a way for you to pay it forward any time the spirit hits you. Set a personal giving goal, or make Lunch for Life a part of your wellness benchmark. Eat less, spend less and donate the rest. Let your friends know about Lunch for Life via social media #LunchforLife. When other people see you paying it forward, perhaps they, too, will be inspired. Whatever moves you, just know that you’re giving children and families dealing with childhood cancer hope, one lunch at a time.
