Fundraising with Pinwheels

The pinwheel is CancerFree KIDS' logo because it represents childhood and the carefree joy that should come with it. When a child is diagnosed with cancer, this joy can sometimes be more difficult for a child and their family to experience. CancerFree KIDS funds research with the goal of finding gentler cures that bring this joy back.

Every year, over 15,000 kids are diagnosed with cancer. In honor of these 15,000 children, we are offering donors the opportunity to "sponsor a pinwheel" (or multiple!) for $15 each. During the 1 Mile Inspirational Walk, CancerFree KIDS' Butterfly Walk & 5k participants will carry these pinwheels along the course to recognize those 15,000 kids who have started their battle with cancer during the past year.

If you are participating in the Butterfly Walk & 5k, consider asking your family, friends and members of your community to sponsor a $15 pinwheel to support CancerFree KIDS in honor of these 15,000 kids. If you are donating to our cause, please know the difference one $15 donation can make in our fight to end this terrible disease.
