Vuka Giving

At Vuka, we believe in giving back. And our personal concern is the children of the world. Why? Because, as the most innocent on our earth, children always need advocates, a voice to speak for them. So whether it's hunger, education or health, at Vuka we believe that we will help build the future of the world if we help the children of our world.

Cookies for Kids' Cancer was created to raise awareness of and funds for pediatric cancer research. But it all started with a kid fighting cancer and his parents' desire to help him and others.

When 2-year old Liam was diagnosed with a deadly form of pediatric cancer called Neuroblastoma, his family learned quickly it is a cancer that only about 30% of children survive. They were shocked to hear the reason for such terrible odds was directly related to how little money was being spent on research by both the government and the pharmaceutical industry. Pediatric cancer is the leading cause of death by disease for children under the age of 18. Why then is it not a priority to develop new and better treatments for the children of our nation and the world? It is this very question that prompted Liam's mom and dad, Gretchen and Larry, to get involved and to do all they could to help save their son.

Through the simple concept of holding a local bake sale under the banner of Cookies for Kids' Cancer, individuals, schools, churches, synagogues, clubs, and businesses have the ability to raise hundreds of thousands of dollars to directly support research at Comprehensive Cancer Centers across the country. Research that would not take place without support from private organizations and philanthropy like Cookies for Kids' Cancer.

Liam lost his battle in January 2011, and Cookies For Kids Cancer is dedicated to continuing their work in his name, committed to raising funds to support research for new and improved therapies for pediatric cancer.
