NO CHILD FIGHTS ALONE

 

Last year, Dimas "Armani" Cintron, Jr., the son of one of our players, passed away from a cancerous brain tumor at the age of 8 years old. It was out of that horrific experience that #NoChildFightsAlone was birthed.

 

This initiative is about loving people and encouraging and supporting them as they battle the turmoil of childhood cancer. It has to focal points:

​

1. Encourage and support the kids actually fighting cancer so they know, with no doubt, that they are not alone in their fight.==

​

2. Provide encouragement, support and extra attention to the other family members (particularly other siblings) that might feel neglected, left out, or mistakenly feel unimportant due to the nature and requirements of focusing on the child actually battling cancer.

 

Money is absolutely important in situations like this, but anyone can write a check. One of the things that gets missed, and takes a little bit more effort, is the giving of time, attention, and physical support and care - even if it's just extra hugs, extra time hanging out in the hospital, or even some extra cheers while watching a sporting event together.

 

We've adopted 4 families within our direct sphere of influence. Please consider joing us as we actively participate in making sure these kids and their families know that...

NO CHILD FIGHTS ALONE!
