We are so grateful for our partnership with Lauren and her team. A percentage of their dill pickle flavored popcorn is donated to WOKC every month. Hear from her directly on why she supports our mission:
"As a mom, I can’t imagine anything harder than watching your child face cancer. Supporting WOKC through our Dill Pickle flavor is my way of standing with these kids and families, bringing a little light and love during such difficult times. Giving back is the heart of Live Love Pop, and WOKC embodies everything we believe in.” –Lauren Mariel, Founder & CEO of Live Love Pop
 
Volunteer of the Month:
Ava Danuser
Ava knows firsthand what it’s like to face pediatric cancer. Today, she’s turned her experience into purpose — volunteering with WOKC to bring comfort, courage and smiles to children fighting the same battle she once fought. Last month, Ava organized a large Buddy Bag drive with Highland Park High School's National Honor Society. She also serves on the Young Champions Board and recently sold 50/50 raffle tickets at WOKC Night at the Frisco Roughriders game. 
 
Thank you for your dedication, Ava.
