Over the past 6 years, the TBC has raised over $90,000 and approximately 3,500 new stuffed teddy bears for the children at the Aflac Cancer Center. The 2011 event, TBC7, is a departure from the past 6 years. We are hosting a three course meal with wine pairings from 6PM-8PM and then our main event will be 8PM-2AM. We will be pre-selling 260 tickets (total) and expect to sell out early.
The money raised from TBC6 will support 2011-2012 funding goals to benefit Children’s. Together, we can help meet the needs of Georgia’s rapidly growing pediatric population, and your support will enable Children’s to care for hundreds of thousands of young patients and their families—now and in the future.
Your tax-deductible support in 2011-2012 makes an important difference in a young child’s life by helping raise funds for the following specifically:
- Childhood cancer and blood disorders research endowment: Growing translational research, recruiting new researchers and increasing enrollment for clinical trials help the Aflac Cancer Center and Blood Disorders Service at Children’s advance research and treatment, which benefits the patients it serves and children nationwide.
- Patient and Family Support: Children’s supports the whole family and the whole child, physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually, through programs such as Chaplaincy, Child Life, Social Work, Legal Services, and the Children’s School Program.
It is our hope that you will choose to participate in TBC7 by attending the event or making a donation. We except donations all year via our website which is directly linked to Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta. Also, should you decide to be a Sponsor, Volunteer, or have any questions regarding TBC please reach out to us at teddybearcrusade@comcast.net
