Pediatric treatment needs your financial aid | Letters | Sept. 9

The Bargain Boutique is honored to invite the community into our store during the month of September to help us participate in Pediatric Cancer Awareness month.

The Bargain Boutique is honored to invite the community into our store during the month of September to help us participate in Pediatric Cancer Awareness month.

We strongly believe that not only new treatments, but an  actual cure is just around the corner for childhood cancers, which are the leading cause of disease related death in children.

We are excited that groundbreaking work in this field is being carried out right here through the Research Foundation of Seattle Children’s Hospital and we have pledged to become a “Research Champion” by raising $2,500 in donations during the month of September.

We know the wonderfully supportive members of our Bainbridge community will help us rise to our goal. We’ll have some special raffle items coming up, so please drop in.

If your corporation would like to join us, the same $2,500 donation will qualify you.

Individuals can qualify to become a “Research Champion” with a $1,000 donation, or can join the elite “Children’s Circle of Care” at the $10,000 level.

More information can be found at our store (253 Winslow Way west) or at www.seattlechildrens.org/researchchampions.

We know the cure for the childhood cancer is no longer a dream, and doctors are on the brink of making sure a brighter world awaits future patients and their families.
