Yesterday, both sessions attending the ribbon cutting ceremony for the National Children's Cancer Society (NCCS). First Session’s Ahmed Brooks said, “During our visit to the National Children’s Cancer Society, we learned how much of an impact an organization can make on families facing childhood cancer. One part that stood out was watching Amelia’s Story. Amelia and her family had to make nearly 40 trips to New York so she could receive the specialized treatment she needed. NCCS helped support her family with transportation and other resources, showing how much of a difference their work makes. We also learned how NCCS partners with businesses and individuals to raise money. One example that surprised me was a Twitch streamer who donates half of her earnings to support their mission as they helped her son in the past. This showed me that anyone can use their platform, resources, or talents to help others. Our visit reminded me that making a difference doesn’t always require a large organization or a lot of money. Sometimes, it starts with people coming together and finding ways to help those who need it most.”

Second Session's Kenna Totel said, "It was a meaningful event that brought our community together to support those affected by cancer. We are grateful to be part of the celebration of an organization that helps spread awareness, hope, and support. We got to move through stations and see how their fundraising process works. Events like this remind us of the importance of coming together and making a difference, as they reach out to multiple third world countries."
