Fun was had, puzzles were made and money was raised — all in support of the more than 830 Iowa families facing childhood cancer. 🧩💛
Thanks to everyone who came out to our Iowa City Puzzle Palooza at @BigGroveBrewery. And a special thanks to our Presenting Sponsor, @HillsBank.
Please welcome Lydia Lee and Jesse Sellers to CCC's youth board! They'll bring their voices and ideas to help shape programs for CCC families, and they're a great resource for kids who have ideas or feedback. Welcome to the team, Lydia and Jesse!
Attention, CCC volunteers! Beginning Nov. 1, we will have a new volunteer portal. Existing volunteers will receive an email from the CCC team with instructions on how to access it.
After Nov. 1, all volunteer registration will take place through the new portal.
Best of luck to all the runners, including Team CCC participants, at this year’s @imtdmm! You inspire us all. 👟💛
A very BIG thank-you to IMT Insurance and the Des Moines Marathon team for once again choosing CCC as the marathon’s charity of choice.

After a tough day of treatment, few things beat picking out a new toy. 🧸 At CCC's Courage Store at @blankchildrens, childhood cancer patients earn Bravery Bucks for reaching hard treatment milestones and trade them in for toys, games, gift cards and other fun prizes.
This #WhatWeNeedWednesday, help us keep the shelves stocked! Shop our wish list at a.co/02J6qqXd and have items shipped straight to us or drop them off at our Johnston office. We'll deliver everything to the Courage Store. 💛
We are incredibly grateful to our friends at @PrairieMeadows for awarding CCC a $30,000 Community Betterment Grant for Family Programs and to the Polk County Board of Supervisors for their $5,000 grant for Polk County Programs.

On #WorldHospiceAndPalliativeCareDay, we are proud to highlight the important mission of Mason's Lighthouse. Soon to be Iowa’s only children’s hospice and respite care facility, Mason’s Lighthouse will allow families to stay closer to home, surrounded by the people they love.
Today, we’re also honoring care that makes room for comfort, connection and joy, even in the hardest seasons. We're grateful for board members like Dr. Rhonda Idemmili, a palliative care physician with UnityPoint Health, who help make that kind of care possible.
Childhood cancer doesn't stop at the diagnosis. It reshapes an entire family, and the toll on parents, siblings and caregivers is real.
Our peer support programs and camps are here for that reason.
Caregiver Connect, Kids Club, Teen Hangout and Camp Heart Connection camps connect children, teens and caregivers with others who understand their experiences, reminding them they don’t have to face it alone.
If you or someone you love could use that kind of support, reach out. We're here. CCCIowa.org
