We are excited about September because this is the month we can be EXTRA LOUD about voicing our support for kids like Jace and reminding others how important childhood cancer awareness is to all of the kids & families affected. We try to give you a glimpse into what families like us experience and all the challenges that pop up along the journey.
This year we not only have a donation list for you again, but we also will be selling t-shirts to honor both Childhood Cancer Awareness and Super Jace.
There are LOTS of ways to support children who have cancer and their families. We don't ask that you do them all, but that you AT LEAST share our story with those you meet and bring awareness for just how many kids are affected each day.
>>WEAR YOUR SUPPORT <<
We've partnered with Kathryn over at Dash of Flair and created a special Childhood Cancer tee that reminds us all that "We Don't Fight Alone" and that everyday 43 kids are diagnosed with childhood cancer.
$4 from each shirt will go to the fund of your choice: Team Connor Or The Jace Poncio Medical Fund.
Kathryn will be taking pre-orders starting now. Please click here to grab your shirt! You can also email her at ShopDashofFlair@yahoo.com for questions.
Shirt sizes 3XL and 2XL...........$25
Sizes S, M, L, XL.......................$20
Youth S, M, L..............................$20
Kids 2T, 3T, 4T, 5/6, 7..............$20
We have also teamed up again with fellow co-worker, Carol Lynn and her husband, to bring back the original blue Super Jace t-shirts. We know you've ALL been asking for them for the longest time and that time is now!!!
We've created a pre-order form for you, also.

>>SUPPORT WITH YOUR TIME<<
We also will be working with our local high school and St. Baldricks to bring more awareness to schools. Be watching our social media sites or here for more information regarding this effort. We are working hard to get information out to you as soon as we've ironed out the details.
In addition, we've been asked to be part of a few events coming up in October including the local health fair put on by the City of Celina which will include a walk.
We will also be working with Team Conner (listed below) and their Color Me Green 5K and Caterpillar Dash.
Please be watching our social media feeds, Jace's page and our personal pages for more information so you can mark your calendar!
>>DONATE YOUR SUPPORT<<
And as always we encourage you to donate ANY amount of money to the organizations listed below. The government only gives 5% of funding to childhood cancers. Our children are our future and should be taken care of better than this.
As always we thank you for your continued support, love and prayers.
