| Quick Facts |
- Childhood cancers are the #1 disease killer of children - more than asthma, cystic fibrosis, diabetes, and pediatric AIDS combined.
- Childhood cancer is not single disease, but rather many different types that fall into 12 major categories. Common adult cancers are extremely rare in children, yet many cancers are almost exclusively found in children.
- Childhood cancers are cancers that primarily affect children, teens and young adults. When cancer strikes children and young adults, it affects them differently than it would an adult.
- Attempts to detect childhood cancers at an earlier stage, when the disease would react more favorably to treatment, have largely failed. Young patients often have a more advanced stage of cancer when first diagnosed.

| Golf Event |
| Hope & Heroes raises almost half of its yearly income for children with cancer through events. Since 1997, our golf tournament has been a cornerstone of our fundraising efforts. It is a terrific way to raise support and create community awareness and interest in our cause. |

We have been privileged to offer our attendees the opportunity to play at of the most beautiful and prestigious courses in the United States. Recent outings have included Hudson National, Hamilton Farm, Baltusrol and Winged Foot.
Winged Foot Golf Club proved yet again to be a spectacular place to golf on Monday, July 19th. Golfers at our 14th annual golf outing braved the cloudy skies, heat and humidity to play 18 great holes, and then gathered in the clubhouse for a celebratory feast. Wise words from survivor Brianna Commerford and parent Steven Hoffman reminded them of the cause they were there to support. Thanks again to everyone who participated.
