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. We've given out Teen Support Bags to almost 14,000 teenagers in every state and DC through our hospital network of almost 210 hospitals so far!
You can make a purchase now for a sponsorship or tickets! Sponsors will be displayed in the list below.
If you can't attend as we get closer to the date, we can donate your seats to parents of teenagers with cancer
and other cancer survivors so they can enjoy an evening out.
