🎅🎄 SANTA’S HELPERS ARE BACK & READY TO MAKE SOME CHRISTMAS MAGIC! 🎄🎅

We’re thrilled to announce the return of our annual holiday gift-giving event! ❤️

Colton Strong Kids and Hoover & Wells are teaming up once again to bring joy, hope, and a little extra Christmas magic to children and families bravely battling childhood cancer.

🎁 Last year, thanks to the incredible generosity of our supporters, we fulfilled the top Christmas wishes of 22 families! From Nintendo Switch 2s, iPads, and laptops to motorized scooters, family-sized trampolines, and so many other meaningful gifts, each wish brought smiles, excitement, and unforgettable moments to some truly brave young warriors.

✨ This year, our goal is even bigger! ✨

As Colton Strong Kids continues to serve more families, the need continues to grow. This year, we are inviting every child receiving active treatment for childhood cancer at Russell J. Ebeid Children’s Hospital, as well as families battling childhood cancer throughout Ohio whom Colton Strong Kids proudly serves, to be part of Santa’s Helpers.

🎅🏻 Our mission is simple: to fulfill the most-wished-for gift on every participating child’s Christmas wish list. Every child deserves to experience the joy and magic of Christmas, and we hope to ease some of the financial stress families face during an unbelievably difficult time.

🎄 HOW YOU CAN HELP 🎄

If you’re able to give this year, we would be incredibly grateful. Donations of any size make a meaningful difference and help us turn Christmas wishes into reality.

📅 Event Date: November 22, 2026

On this special day, families will pick up their child’s most-wished-for gift and head into the holiday season with a little more joy, hope, and Christmas magic in their hearts. 🎗️

September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month. 🎗️

Throughout September 2026, the Colton Strong Kids team will share a daily fact about pediatric cancer to help educate our community, raise awareness, and stand alongside the courageous children and families facing childhood cancer.

Behind every statistic is a child, a family, and a life forever changed.

Childhood cancer can mean months or even years of chemotherapy, surgeries, hospital stays, transfusions, missed school, financial stress, and uncertainty.

There is progress to celebrate. Today, about 85% of children diagnosed with cancer survive at least five years, a significant improvement over past decades. But too many children still face cancers that are difficult to treat, and survival is not guaranteed.

Until every child has the chance to grow up cancer-free, we keep raising awareness, supporting families, and fighting for a better future. 💛🎗️

September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month. 🎗️

Throughout September 2026, the Colton Strong Kids team will share a daily fact about pediatric cancer to help educate our community, raise awareness, and stand alongside the courageous children and families facing childhood cancer.

Nearly half of all pediatric cancer research depends on private support.

Individuals, companies, foundations, and philanthropic organizations help fill a critical gap in funding—supporting research that may otherwise go unfunded.

When we invest in childhood cancer research, we invest in more treatments, more breakthroughs, and more childhoods saved. 💛
