Attention Adult Survivors of Childhood Cancer


This four part series is one part of TACwork, a new program of the Thriving After Cancer program and is a collaboration of GWCI and the GW Graduate school of Education and Human Development.

The workshops are aimed at older adolescent (16-18) and adult survivors. Full benefit comes from attending all four workshops; however, each workshop is designed to stand alone with information that will help guide survivors in today's challenging job market. Please RSVP for each session you plan to attend.

Photos from CupcakeCamp DC 2011!!

We wanted to share some of the pictures from DC CupcakeCamp. This was such a fun event that not only raised awareness of childhood cancer, gold ribbons and September awareness month, but over $1000 for DC Candlelighters! We are so very grateful for this donation, and the chance to educate more people about childhood cancer. Check out the blog, and the photostream below...just try not to LICK your screen. :)
