💔 Understanding the Cause

• Impact of Diagnosis: When a child is diagnosed with cancer, everything STOPS. A family’s whole life changes just like that and it does not go back to normal.
• Critical Support: Bills and stress are at an all-time high and help from others is critical.
• Statistics: One in 285 children in the U.S. will be diagnosed with cancer by the time they are 20 years old.
• Funding Needs: Childhood cancer research and treatments are vastly and consistently underfunded.

💖 About Keris

• Legacy: Keris was a proud Kindergarten graduate of Newnan Crossing Elementary School and made a lasting impression on those that knew her.
• Brave Fight: She bravely battled a rare form of pediatric brain cancer called Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma (DIPG) from the age of 4 until her transition at the age of 6.
• Meaning of Her Name: The name Keris means love and charity.
• Our Motivation: Our driving motivation is to pay it forward with love and charity and bless other hurting families.

🤝 Proceeds from the Event
