Unleashed Brands and Urban Air Unite for Childhood Cancer
The Unleashed Brands Foundation, known for its commitment to youth welfare, is partnering with Urban Air Adventure Park to launch the inspiring initiative "Sock It to Cancer." This campaign aims to raise awareness and funds for childhood cancer research, particularly during National Childhood Cancer Awareness Month.
Special Socks to Make a Difference
Throughout September, Urban Air will sell specialty socks that feature the slogan "Sock It to Cancer" on the soles. For every pair sold, 25 cents will be donated directly to supporting research and care for children battling cancer. This initiative was established to encourage families and communities to actively participate in this vital cause. These socks are not just a fashion statement; they symbolize a commitment to sparking hope and providing essential resources for young cancer patients and their families.
The Ongoing Battle Against Childhood Cancer
Childhood cancer remains a significant health challenge, being a leading cause of disease-related deaths in children under the age of 14. Each year, nearly 16,000 young individuals are diagnosed with cancer in the United States alone. The funds raised through the Sock It to Cancer initiative will support groundbreaking research initiatives, giving hope for better treatments suited to the unique needs of pediatric patients.
The Unleashed Brands Foundation's Mission
The Unleashed Brands Foundation was established to empower at-risk youth and provide them the tools they need to thrive. With a strong focus on supporting children facing significant challenges, the Foundation collaborates with various nonprofits aimed at enhancing the lives of these youngsters. Over the next five years, the Foundation has pledged to donate $1 million to the Dare to Dream Project, which seeks to foster research breakthroughs in the treatment of blood cancers.
A Community Coming Together
“Every pair of socks has the power to spark hope,” said Michael Browning Jr., CEO of Unleashed Brands. This initiative not only provides financial support but also empowers families to stand together against the formidable challenge of childhood cancer. The campaign is designed to remind families that they can join this fight while enjoying themselves at Urban Air.
Continued Commitment with Round Up for Charity
The Sock It to Cancer campaign is complemented by Urban Air’s Year-Round Round Up for Charity initiative, where guests are encouraged to round up their purchases to contribute to various charitable causes. These programs reflect a broader commitment to social responsibility and community engagement, allowing guests to make a tangible impact while enjoying their time at Urban Air.
How to Participate
Starting from the first of September until the last day of the month, individuals can purchase the special socks either in Urban Air Adventure Park locations or online. These socks not only support the cause but also serve as an excellent way to spark conversations about childhood cancer awareness. It is a simple yet powerful gesture that can resonate deeply within the community.
