Warrior Highlight
Meet Joseph!
For years, Joseph’s childhood was filled with treatments, hospital visits, and trips across the country as he fought stage 4 high-risk neuroblastoma.
Today, he continues to face the lasting effects of treatment, but does it with a smile on his face. Joseph loves playing piano, kicking the soccer ball, and dancing anytime there is music playing.
Throughout his journey, ACFC has been honored to support Joseph and his family through Sunshine Visits, family events, and opportunities to connect with other families.
“Joseph knows what it is like to feel miserable, so he appreciates every moment and is the happiest boy. We are so grateful for ACFC for bringing him so much joy.”
Program Highlight
July + August Birthday Celebration
We loved celebrating our July and August warriors at ACFC’s latest birthday party!
Warrior families spent the afternoon enjoying lunch, cake, games, arts & crafts, and plenty of birthday presents together. Our birthday parties give families a chance to step away from appointments and treatment for an afternoon and celebrate the milestones that matter most.
A special thank you to Chick-fil-A Raintree for sponsoring lunch and helping make this celebration possible for our families!
