What Is It?
ASAP is excited to announce a new program developed especially
for young people. Kids For A Cure Club is designed for children and
teens ages 6 to 19. Some of the goals include helping children find
ways to cope with chronic illness, providing an outlet for kids to
meet and share with others, encouraging good citizenship and
empowering young people by providing materials and support for those
interested in promoting awareness or undertaking fundraising
projects.
What Are the Benefits?
Kids will receive birthday cards and friendly encouragement when
ASAP is notified of an upcoming hospitalization. Special events for
Club members will be held at the ASAP annual conference. Exclusive
materials and support are available for those Club members
interested in promoting awareness or holding a fundraiser to benefit
ASAP. Request a KFC ‘Get Started!’ Kit for more details or contact
Faith Webb, Club Mom, at programs@ASAP.org.
Who May Join?
Children and teens aged 6 to 19 may join Kids For A Cure Club. A
diagnosis of SM and/or CM in a young person, in a family member or a
friend is not a prerequisite. The only qualification for Kids For A
Cure Club membership is an interest in ASAP.
