BACKGROUND
The first Courageous Kids Day was Mother’s Day 1989, founded by two-time cancer survivor Gay Crawford, an active American Cancer Society volunteer. Since then, more than 18,000 children with cancer have attended Courageous Kids Day. The event provides “a day away from cancer” to hundreds of young cancer patients and their families, who come from throughout California for a day at California’s Great America in Santa Clara. The event is made possible by volunteers, sponsors, and donors. This year’s event will take place on Sunday, May 12.
