| 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.
On Monday, August 1st, our annual Golf Tournament took over the courses at both Liberty National Golf Club and Bayonne Golf Club for a spectacular day of golf on the Hudson. Over 200 golfers joined us either for the modern luxury of Liberty or the tough links course at Bayonne. Then we all came together at Liberty for dinner and festivities.
Be sure to save the date for Monday, July 16th, 2012 when we will be asking you to choose between Winged Foot and Quaker Ridge!
