Nick and Charlotte are our "Holiday Hero" Students of the Week! They have each received 6 donations during the holiday break, more than any other Night for the Fight students!
Nick is a senior on team Hope Warriors and Charlotte is a senior on team Dr. Whom. Both have done a great job spreading the word about Night for the Fight to friends and family during the holidays!
Nick says: "I choose to participate in Night for the Fight to help support those who fight a similar battle like me".
Charlotte says: “A friend who lost her brother to cancer invited me to participate in Night for the Fight. I love their family, so it was easy to say yes. And for fundraising, I just sent a text to everyone I know. Easy!!”
Thank you Charlotte and Nick for all you are doing to fund childhood cancer research with CancerFree KIDS and Night for the Fight!

Grace is a senior in high school and is fundraising in so many different ways! She has raised over $1,000 already through student sponsorships, Super Bowl squares, and an event through MVP Sports Bar and Grille!
Grace says: "I choose to participate in Night for the Fight because I’ve seen cancer severely impact the lives of families, and not just the individual diagnosed. For the past two years, participating in Night for the Fight really opened my eyes. I found out that childhood cancer research is very underfunded, and since then l've felt super passionate about bringing awareness to the CancerFree KIDS mission, and to give every kid a chance at an entire life. A quote I live by is “be kind to everyone, you never know what’s going on behind closed doors”"
Thank you Grace, for all you are doing to fund childhood cancer research with CancerFree KIDS and Night for the Fight!

I have raised money for my team through reaching out to friends and family and telling them about Night for the Fight and how the organization CancerFree KIDS raises money for pediatric cancer research. I have also helped many of my peers get involved with Night for the Fight by telling them about the event and recruiting them for my team."

Maya was nominated to be Student of the Week by her team member and friend, Ana, because of her dedication to helping her team succeed at Night for the Fight. Hear Maya's story about participating in Night for the Fight in honor of her grandma: "At the ripe age of eight, my mom lost my grandma to ovarian cancer. Cancer tears apart families and its heart wrenching. My grandma had so many goals, dreams, and desperations in her life that she would never get to achieve. But can you imagine never getting to set your goals or aim for the stars? When I was younger, I had a new hobby every day. I am still constantly trying new things. Because why not? Sadly, some children don’t get that luxury. They wake up each day and are purely thankful they woke up. I fight for my grandma whom I was never blessed with meeting; I fight for children like my mom who lose their parents before they get the chance to really know them. But most of all I fight for children to be able to wake up each morning reaching for the stars." -Maya
Thank you Maya for fighting for your grandma, your mom and all kids who are undergoing cancer treatment. You are truly making a difference.
