Our goal is to demonstrate to these brave families that they are seen and loved. By participating, you'll help us send Brave Boxes to young warriors in need. Your registration not only supports this initiative but also earns you a swag bag featuring this year's CCAM T-shirt. Guarantee a SWAG BAG by signing up by 9/3/24!

Gather your family and friends and join us for a day of solidarity and community. Let’s make a difference together! 

Please note: you can register 2 people at a time to receive the free T-shirt. Additional members can be registered separately and you can always head to our STORE to purchase the T-shirt to show your support. Guarantee a shirt by submitting your pre-order by 9/3/24. We will have limited sizes available after that time. 

North Texas Giving Day 2024

We invite you to help us provide Brave Boxes to families. Brave Boxes are gift packages that we gift to families that have a child affected by childhood cancer. 

Our average Brave Box ranges in value from $100 - $300. At Christmas, our Brave Boxes range from $500 - $1,000. We are raising $15,000 to serve our families. 

We know that the whole family affects the entire family so we serve the siblings and parents of the kids that have or had cancer.

Join us as we shower the Dads of our Brave Warriors. We know that a cancer diagnosis can be devastating and impacts each of the family members. This is why we like to serve the whole family. We also know that many times the parents will put their kiddo's needs first and sacrifice taking care of themselves. We hope that by serving them with Brave Boxes that they will feel LOVED, SEEN, and CARED FOR.

We believe this will allow the family to experience Joy and allow them to focus on caring for their families needs.

We are looking to grow our volunteer team and have various options, both virtual and in person. For those interested, please fill out a volunteer application at:

2022 Goals:

• Provide 205 Community Support Brave Boxes

Thank you to everyone that joined us for North Texas Giving Day, whether it was in person, on social media, or sending us a note!
