The Children’s Oncology Ward atSiteman

Cancer Centerto brighten the holiday cheer of children

effected by cancerduring the holidays.

Toys purchased will be distributed by hospital staff to children of all ages.

Children are prohibited from leaving the oncology ward due to extremely weekend immune systems that

result in high risk of attracting viruses, which could potentially, and often times, set back a child’s

remission and progress of tackling cancer. Every child deserves a joyous memory during the holidays,

hopefully toys will bring them a smile.

Contact Stephanie Chambers for questions on how to further support and spread holiday cheer to children

experiencing depression, anxiety and trouble understanding how this unfortunate situation has

affected [email protected]

Stephanie spent the early part of her career interning for the SCC under Arlinda Warren, and would like to continue promoting awareness for children who deserve a much needed joyous

holiday.
