Support Teenagers Dealing with Cancer! Our Teen Support Bag Program Needs Your Help!

Join our community for a special evening to help teenagers who deal with all cancers. The money raised from this event will benefit Bite Me Cancer's Teen Support Bag program. Teenagers "fall through the cracks" in the hospital systems, whether they are in a pediatric ward or an adult ward. Nikki, our founder, experienced the disconnect herself as a 17 year old dealing with cancer so she developed this foundation and our Teen Support Bag for teenagers so they can feel supported and inspired.

Donations during the wine dinner will help to sustain and expand this bag program as each bag costs $90 for the foundation to assemble and ship. So far, we have given our bags to almost 12,750 teenagers battling cancer in every state and DC. Here are some examples of the positive impact these bags are making for teenagers dealing with cancer (and their families)!
