Help us out for 30 Days for Wade!

By: 0

Help us out guys! Wades Army is doing a "30 Days for Wade" Campaign, and we want you to wear your Wades Army shirts when you come in here on Tuesday night at 5:30pm. We are going to get a nice group picture to support 30 Days for Wade!
Details from WadesArmy.org Wade's Army is excited to announce a Spring campaign, 30 Days For Wade! This campaign is focused 100% on the financial support of families in the fight against neuroblastoma. While exciting breakthroughs are being made on the neuroblastoma research front, most families begin the fight with the current standard treatment. Treatment is costly, and combining this burden with the emotional toll of a child's fight with cancer is often too much for a family to fathom. Our mission extends well past awareness and funding research, we make a connection with a family like Ethan Martin's and help in anyway we can! For this campaign a limited edition t-shirt design is now available in our new online store! Orders can be placed on this site and the shirts will be shipped to your door step! With the hopes to KAPOW this pediatric cancer, we have also expanded to offering youth size t-shirts so the entire family may represent Wade and the fight against neuroblastoma. These shirts will only be available from April 1st-30th, so please do not hold off. During these 30 days we will be featuring families who have requested the assistance of Wade's Army, highlighting successful fights against neuroblastoma, and catching up on the research you all have funded from the Wade's Day 2014 campaign!

THE ABC'S OF GETTING INVOLVED WITH '30 DAYS'!

Awareness Please follow our social media outlets (FacebookTwitter, and Instagram) and show us how you are showing your support for Wade's Army and the fight against neuroblastoma! Please include a link to wadesarmy.org, show off that powerful shirt, and apply the #'s: #WadesArmy, #Neuroblastoma, #KAPOWcancer, and #jointhefight! Buy the Limited Edition 'KAPOW' shirt Every Army needs a uniform and now they are available for the whole family! Only a small amount of these shirts were printed and are only available from April 1-30th! Once the deadline hits, they will not be recreated. Check out our new online store for more information! Connection If you know of a family who has a child battling neuroblastoma, is need of support, and would like to put us in touch, please email: wadesarmy@powerathletehq.com Donations We are still accepting donations on our Fundraising Page, and all donations within the 30 Days for Wade will be directed to a family in need. We have set a personal goal of $15,000 for April 1-30th, and we want to spread that as many families as we can!
