Now in its 8th year, Careathon, presented by Duval Asphalt, is a one-day fundraiser for the Child Cancer Fund of NE Florida.
CCF is a partner to families of pediatric cancer patients and provides programs and services to 300 families annually.
This grassroots charity is small but mighty, with two full-time employees. CEO Carla Montgomery understands the challenge and horrors of pediatric cancer, as her son was diagnosed in 2000. Today, he is a thriving young man, nearing 30 years of age. When a family calls Carla, she provides gift cards, mortgage assistance, meals, tutoring and other financial assistance. Pediatric cancer patients face weekly or monthly treatment, as well as unplanned ER visits, and more. Every visit comes with costs for the family: gasoline, meals, and more.
Money raised through Careathon goes directly to the Child Cancer Fund to support the families they serve. Every single dollar matters. In seven years, more than $1.4 million has been raised through Careathon. Listener donations helped to fully fund the Child Life Specialist position at Nemours Children’s Health through a restricted fund. And donations have allowed families to escape for weekend retreats at Camp Boggy Creek in Central Florida.During Careathon only, a phone call to 855-636-6877. Volunteers will take calls and donations from 5 am – 6 pm on Friday, August 12th.
