16th Annual Halloween Party for Families Who Have a Child with Cancer

Every Fall Childhood Cancer Foundation of Southern California (CCFSC) invites children with cancer to join them for their Annual Halloween Party. This year Greenspot Farms in Mentone will welcome the group of over 200 registered guests to enjoy an afternoon of family fun from 10 a.m. to noon. Families will enjoy tractor rides, trips to the petting zoo, games, light refreshments and more. Riverside City College Cosmetology students will provide face painting for guests. Children are welcome to come in costume to participate in the costume parade. CCFSC will also provide Halloween decorations and gifts for all the children. The Halloween Party is such a special outing for our little ones and their families. We put all these families together and give them hope. The newly-diagnosed families see other kids who have made it, they're older and it gives them the hope that their kids will soon arrive to where they are. It takes away a lot of fear. Receiving non-profit status in September of 1981, Childhood Cancer Foundation of Southern California, Inc. (CCFSC) is now more than 800 families strong committed to serving children with cancer and their families throughout Southern California emotionally, financially, educationally and with emergency assistance. CCFSC works directly with the families to identify their need for support. Communication with another family experiencing this devastating disease is very beneficial and CCFSC family events and activities provide this support.
