Thank you for helping us support these local charities! 

 

We were able to give over $5,000.00 in 2010 because of YOU!!!

The only thing better than enjoying the 775 is knowing each time you do, a charity in Northern Nevada will benefit too!  As locals, we support locals.  Each time you make a purchase at the 775, we'll make a donation to our "Charity of the Month".

NORTHERN NEVADA CHILDREN'S CANCER FOUNDATION

The Northern Nevada Children’s Cancer Foundation (NNCCF) is
the only organization dedicated solely to supporting children with cancer and their families in Northern Nevada and the eastern Sierra region.

 

The Foundation was formed when Angel Kiss Foundation and Keaton Raphael Memorial (Reno office) legally merged on Sept. 1, 2009. NNCCF continues to build on established programs and more effectively use donations.

 

NNCCF is a comprehensive resource organization providing financial and emotional assistance, advocacy, awareness and research funds. Since its inception, the Foundation has helped close to 350 families and provided more than $1.3 million in direct financial assistance.

2012 St. Baldrick’s: March 17 at the

Reno Livestock Events Center

Thank you for your support, Reno! Thanks to you and your friendly, efficient work, we have shaved 1,085 heads and garnered a total of $768,000 for research funding. Congratulations to you all for your part in this fundraiser that truly will save the lives of many of our children!

Each year, life-saving pediatric cancer treatment saves 85 percent of our kids. The Children’s Oncology Group (COG) of hospitals, founded 50 years ago, has taken survivorship from 20 to 85 percent. Our newest challenge is to develop less harsh treatment that does not damage these kids’ bodies as they are developing.

In 2010, St. Baldrick’s raised $14 million in its worldwide fundraising and these dollars go directly to the COG hospitals to save lives and develop less damaging treatment.
