The Boiling Crab® Champions Childhood Cancer Awareness Month
As September begins, The Boiling Crab® is excited to team up with the National Pediatric Cancer Foundation (NPCF) and RIF Los Angeles to highlight Childhood Cancer Awareness Month. This partnership is fueled by a strong commitment to raising awareness and supporting research for pediatric cancer.
Joining Forces for a Cause
This initiative goes beyond mere charitable giving; it represents a community coming together to enhance the lives of young patients fighting cancer. From September 16 to October 13, The Boiling Crab will donate a portion of its proceeds from shrimp and crawfish sales. These donations will come from both in-store diners and delivery orders placed through Postmates. This collaborative effort aims to significantly support NPCF's mission to eliminate childhood cancer.
Good People Helping Good Kids
The Boiling Crab is not just focused on financial contributions; they're also embracing the spirit of RIF Los Angeles's message "Good People Helping Good People," rebranding it as "Good People Helping Good Kids" for this campaign. Families dining at The Boiling Crab can look forward to two exclusive t-shirt designs available from RIF LA, along with a fun set of three custom stickers available for purchase in-store. To make the experience even more enjoyable, kids will receive complimentary coloring placemats and crayons during their visit.
Community Awareness and Impact
The Boiling Crab's generosity extends beyond just food sales. They welcome direct donations through their TBC Donation Page, supporting NPCF's relentless efforts to find less toxic and more effective treatments for childhood cancers. David Frazer, CEO of the National Pediatric Cancer Foundation, expressed gratitude, stating, "We are thankful and proud to partner with The Boiling Crab to raise awareness and funds to support pediatric cancer research." Such partnerships help create a brighter future for children diagnosed with cancer.
Personal Insights
Dada Ngo, Co-founder of The Boiling Crab, highlights the importance of this initiative: "At The Boiling Crab, we believe in community power and the necessity of giving back. It’s crucial now more than ever to shine a light on pediatric cancer, considering the rising number of children being diagnosed and the urgent need for effective treatments. Teaming up with the National Pediatric Cancer Foundation offers us a significant opportunity to contribute to a cause that resonates deeply with us."
Understanding the Facts
Awareness surrounding childhood cancer is vital. Here are some important facts: Cancer is the leading cause of disease-related death among children. Each day, 43 kids in the U.S. are diagnosed, with about 1 in 285 children receiving a cancer diagnosis before turning 20. Moreover, childhood cancer survivors frequently deal with serious health-related issues by age 45 due to current treatment protocols. Alarmingly, only 4% of cancer research funding is allocated specifically for childhood cancers.
NPCF's Dedication
When examining NPCF’s impact, it's evident they are making significant advancements in pediatric oncology. Over 89 cents of every dollar donated goes directly to funding clinical trials for less toxic treatments. In the past 12 years, NPCF has dedicated $39 million to research, resulting in promising breakthroughs to enhance survival rates and overall quality of life for children facing cancer.
The Role of Community Involvement
Raising awareness and support for childhood cancer is essential. It plays a pivotal role in advancing research and improving outcomes for affected children.
