Research Proposal: Sing Against Cancer
Objectives:
Our intent is to raise cancer awareness in the Dallas community, and fund St. Jude Cancer Research Hospital, so that we give hope to the children battling this disease. Our goal is to make the Dallas community knowledgeable about the types of cancer, and support the families and victims of this terminal disease. At Toys “R” Us we understand that no dream is impossible, and that hope is never lost. The proposed event, “Sing Against Cancer” will help raise at least $845,000 that will go directly to St. Jude’s Research Hospital to bring hope to the children looking for cures, and pay for their costly treatment.
Sing Against Cancer:
Sing Against Cancer is a fundraising event hosted by Toys “R” Us to help raise awareness and finances
for St. Jude Cancer Research Hospital. Toys “R” Us strives in making children’s dreams come true by selling them the toys they desire at a reasonable price. However, because our company is influenced by the happiness of children, we want to fulfill dreams in every way possible. Through this magnificent event, the Dallas residents will have the opportunity to enjoy music, play games, and bond with their family members as they support a great cause. Every penny collected from the event will realize a parent’s dream of having their child live another day.
Background:
Number of Diagnoses:
The news of a cancer diagnosis is never welcomed, but what is even more unexpected and difficult is if the disease is diagnosed in a child or adolescent. Although cancer is much less common among children compared to older adults, approximately 1 in 285 children in the US will be diagnosed with the disease before the age of 20. While advances in treatment have increased the survival rate for many childhood cancers, childhood cancer remains the leading cause of death by disease among children in the United States. Every day, 43 children are diagnosed with cancer and the average age of diagnosis is 6. Cancer affects all ethnic, gender, and socioeconomic groups, and more than 40,000 children undergo treatment for cancer each year.
