Thank you to all our supporters!

On September 25th, we celebrated our Light the Way Online Auction
***Over $80k was raised! All because you care!***
Our goal for the event was to raise enough funds to hire an additional person for our hospital program. That person will be dedicated to working on weekends and holidays. Upon filling that role, our kids and families will have support 365 days a year as they navigate their journey with cancer.
You can still join the momentum of building something even bigger and more robust to support local kids and their families.

These events are only a portion of the support that was given to our kids and families.
Many events were held throughout the Inland Northwest to raise awareness and funds to support Childhood Cancer Awareness.
As you can see, all through September, Spokane had many opportunities to learn about Childhood Cancer Awareness Month. (CCAM)
And the community stepped up!
THANK YOU!

What else is happening at ACCOIN?
|
In October, our dedicated volunteer, Marilyn "Marigold" Taylor, partnered with the RhoChi Pharmacy program students at WSU to hold an online Halloween Party full of costumes, fun and games, prizes, and pumpkins.
Right now, the staff and volunteers are full throttle into preparing for Christmas.
While we are still standing on the side of caution, we have made the call to hold back from the big Holiday Gathering this year; however, we are excited to reinstate the Adopt A Family Program.
We have had incredible support from businesses and individuals opening their hearts to help parents breathe a little easier this holiday season. By accepting the wish lists of the kids, purchasing items, and packaging them up for delivery, they are bringing joy this holiday season. We are so grateful. Christmas would not have happened without you.
This year we will also be working with elves to deliver the out-of-town gifts as well.
It's not too late to jump on the sleigh to help some families this holiday season. We are still looking for gift cards from grocery stores, Amazon, Target, and Fred Meyer to stuff the parent's stockings. If you would like to help, please contact Leslie @509-995-5431 or lesliewoodfill@accoinlandnw.org
You can also mail them directly to:
American Childhood Cancer Organization Inland NW
PO BOX 8031
Spokane, WA 99203

We are happy to share a new way to give and start building into the future.
Through a partnership with DA Davidson, ACCOIN can now accept donations of stocks, bonds, mutual funds, and money from investment accounts.
If you have wanted to give and are looking for a way to support our mission that involves those options, good news! Now it's an option!
Please contact Leslie Woodfill at 509-995-5431 or email to: lesliewoodfill@accoinlandnw.org
