Anna (L) and Hannah (R) |
Meet Hannah Pasterz and Anna Stock of Canton, GA, who are raising funds again this year to help children with brain tumors.
These industrious and philanthropic girls have been busy for months selling beautiful bracelets they make out of soda can pop tops, beads and other items and have so far raised $1,500! Their goal is to be a sponsor this summer for Cruisin' for the Kids, a BTFC benefit event on Lake Allatoona hosted by The Towne Lake Optimist Club.

| | | Established in 1983 in Atlanta, GA, the Brain Tumor Foundation for Children was the first non-profit organization in the United States to focus on pediatric brain tumor disease. The Foundation's mission is: "To provide financial assistance, social support, and information for families of children with brain and spinal cord tumors; fund research projects that improve treatment options and search for a cure; and raise public awareness of the disease and advocate on behalf of children who are affected." BTFC serves children and families throughout Georgia and the Southeast. Our south Florida chapter, Christina's Kidz, is dedicated to helping Florida families. |
