Gwen Stefani Visits Cure 4 The Kids Foundation!

Posted on by admin

Thanks to the efforts of many people who worked behind the scenes to make it happen, we had the incredible honor to welcome Gwen Stefani to Cure 4 The Kids Foundation on Thursday, March 14, 2019. Ms. Stefani helped us officially dedicate our new location in the One Breakthrough Way building by participating in our ribbon cutting event.

But the multi-Platinum recording artist also came to see the special themed patient exam room inspired in her honor.  Stefani wanted to do what she could to help provide some joy and hope –and most of all, fun– to children as they attend medical appointments that are part of the treatment for childhood cancer and other conditions.  We all agreed the best way to do that was to give one of our exam rooms a total makeover with help from Stefani and Las Vegas artist Juan Muniz who created the incredible wall illustrations.

When Gwen Stefani announced her Las Vegas residency at the Zappos Theater inside Planet Hollywood Hotel & Casino, she also announced that she would donate $1 from every ticket sold to her Las Vegas performances to Cure 4 The Kids Foundation. So far, the donation has exceeded  $50,000 and is being set aside to help fund a projected $2 million dollar expansion of the clinic which will include additional patient exam rooms, a dedicated area for research and some new services benefiting our patients.

As you might expect, Gwen’s visit to the clinic attracted a fair amount of attention!

Thanks to a grant written in part by Cure 4 The Kids Foundation’s neuropsychologist, Dr. Danielle Bello, and some very special virtual reality goggles provided by KIND VR, many treatments will be much more tolerable for our patients.

Golf 4 The Kids Raises $70,000; Will Help Provide Treatment to Children Battling Cancer

Posted on by admin

Our mission to never turn a child away from treatment for financial reasons is something we feel strongly about. But that guarantee can also be expensive.  Our Charity Care Program allows us to treat patients without medical insurance or without the ability to pay for treatment. One of the fundraisers that directly supports the Charity Care Program is Golf 4 The Kids, and this year our tournament was exceedingly successful!

More than $70,000 was raised through the generous support of golfers, corporate sponsors and others who donated to the cause.  Our sincere thanks and we hope to see you for our 2019 event!
