"We have a heart for children who are experiencing life-threatening illnesses, especially cancer. It is cruel and non-descriminating – and can devastate families without warning. We give to Wipe Out Kids’ Cancer because we see firsthand the immediate, real-time support it provides for these courageous children and their families. And we are confident in its leadership’s determination to serve them while also investing in better treatments that can lead to groundbreaking cures."
The In-N-Out team has been supporting WOKC for the last three years at our annual Run For The Kids. They serve mouth-watering burgers with a smile, and that is why In-N-Out is a part of the RFTK fabric! Thank you, In-N-Out, for all that you do!
CEO Report
WOKC supports every pediatric cancer patient and their family when they are admitted for an overnight hospital stay. Of those families, 33% are at or below the poverty line. A pediatric cancer battle is difficult enough without also having to worry about feeding your family. WOKC offers a Financial Assistance program, providing grocery gift cards to families in need. One way to help the longevity of this program is by joining our Hope Circle. A donation of only $25 per month can help two families through food insecurity.

WOKC hosted our Back-to-School Party at LEGOLAND, and Warrior Families had a blast exploring all the activities at the Discovery Center.
Games, rides, videos, pizza, building LEGO models, and getting to know other Warrior Families were some of the highlights. The afternoon was capped off with a visit from an official LEGO Master Builder who led the group in building giraffes!
WOKC would like to thank our board member Jacqueline Harris and her employer, Goldman Sachs, for making a difference with the WOKC Buddy Bag Program. Goldman Sachs donated $3,000 for supplies, while Jacqueline and seven of her colleagues packed Buddy Bags and composed notes to parents on July 19th.
Offering comfort and hope to kids with cancer through support programs serving the entire family and funding innovative research leading to new discoveries and treatments in the fight against pediatric cancer.
