Being a community member means being willing to give and receive support in times of need. The Childs Elementary Community has had many...too many...opportunities to demonstrate this commitment to those who are facing cancer.
In Indiana in 2025—42,150 people are expected to be diagnosed with cancer and 14,080 are expected to lose their lives to cancer. Hoosiers Outrun Cancer raises funds for Cancer Support Community (CSC) programs—providing free support to ANYONE impacted by cancer. A few examples of how CSC helps families in our community are: counseling & support groups, nutrition & exercise classes, oncology massage therapy, reiki, cancer education, social connections, food & transportation assistance, wigs, comfort kits, and so much more.
Raising money to support this cause is important to Team Childs Elementary/Team Peek because we know that in order to be strong leaders and learners, we must help all our community members not just survive, but thrive.
