10 Years of Crush Kids Cancer - New Project!

In Summer 2008, Crush Kids Cancer: David Archuleta's Angels was started by PecanPie as part of Stand Up 2 Cancer's fundraising campaign. Crush Kids Cancer soon became SU2C's top team, raising $95,949 in the last decade for Stand Up 2 Cancer. 

 As we approach this year's Stand Up 2 Cancer broadcast on September 7, Crush Kids Cancer is back with new products, this time to celebrate 10 years of fundraising! 

Sip your tea or coffee out of this new mug, all while celebrating 10 years of Crush Kids Cancer! 

Show your CKC pride by wearing one of our new 10-year anniversary buttons! Buttons come in round or square, perfect to decorate a denim jacket, add to that ongoing pin collection you have, or to pin onto your David tote bags! 

The cheapest and most lowkey of all our new products is our 10-year anniversary postcard. Send to your family or friends, release some postcards into the sky like David, or put it on your fridge to remind you of your part in celebrating 10 years of Crush Kids Cancer and helping us become and remain Stand Up 2 Cancer's top team!  

Not only that, but anyone who purchases one of these four 10-year anniversary products will be entered into a giveaway hosted by Ashley! You'll have the chance to win this signed photo of David (received by Ashley on February 27th at David's concert in Portland, Maine).

Crush Kids' Cancer: David Archuleta's Angels 2014 Summer Fundraising Challenge

In the past, Stand Up 2 Cancer would a 2-week long summer fundraising challenge right before their televised broadcast. This year, although SU2C will be doing their broadcast on September 5, 2014, they are not hosting a fundraising challenge like years past.

So, I thought, just because SU2C isn't doing a challenge, that doesn't mean Crush Kids' Cancer can't!

Starting today, August 22, until Stand Up 2 Cancer's broadcast on September 5, Crush Kids' Cancer: David Archuleta's Angels will be doing our own fundraising challenge! Our goal is to raise as much money as we can for Crush Kids' Cancer within these two weeks!

To donate, click the big, orange DONATE button on the right, then click the red DONATE NOW button on our team page!

We want to see those numbers going up over the next 2 weeks, so please donate! No amount is too small and all of the proceeds go to Stand Up 2 Cancer to help find a cure! If you are unable to donate, we always appreciate spreading the word! Share with your friends and families, on Twitter, Facebook, Tumblr, Pinterest, etc!

Crush Kids' Cancer: The Kids' Chapter is about to set out on our own mission just before David gets back from his!

In case you haven't heard, David is due to come home from his mission at the end of this month.

Starting Monday, March 17, 2014, our goal is to get as many donations to Crush Kids' Cancer: David Archuleta's Angels as possible. This project will run until April 1, 2014 and we will announce the total amount that was raised, as well as let David know about this wonderful Welcome Back gift from all of his fans!

2013 David Archuleta Christmas/Birthday Project from Crush Kids' Cancer!

Crush Kids' Cancer: The Kids' Chapter:

2013 David Archuleta Christmas/Birthday Project 

As many of you may remember, last year around this time, The Kids' Chapter held our David Archuleta Christmas/Birthday Project, selling ornaments with proceeds going to Crush Kids' Cancer: David Archuleta's Angels as our Christmas and Birthday gift to David.

This year, we're at it again with a newly designed ornament made by The Kids' Chapter team member Lynsey!

From now (Nov 1) to the end of the year (Dec 31), you have the chance to purchase this new ornament and a portion of the proceeds will be donated to Crush Kids' Cancer as our Christmas/Birthday gift to David!

The ornament is $13.95 and will hang nicely on every Archie's Christmas tree, or could be a great stocking stuffer! If you do not celebrate Christmas but still want to be a part of this project, you can always purchase an ornament and give it to someone you know will love it, or donate it to a local hospital, etc.

Like last year, after this project concludes, we will be letting David know how many ornaments sold and how much was raised for Crush Kids' Cancer!

Last year's project was a success, let's make this year's project an even bigger success! 

You can go HERE to purchase our new Crush Kids' Cancer ornament!

From SU2C:

Crush Kids' Cancer: David Archuleta's Angels

Have raised a total of $68,815 since 2008

Crush Kids' Cancer: David Archuleta's Angels, is one of SU2C's longest running and most active teams to date. This team, led by pediatric oncologist Dr. Stacie Goldberg (Pecan Pie), has continued to raise funds for SU2C research by participating in SU2C team challenges. In addition to the online challenges the team continues to inspire and encourage its members to stay active in the fight against cancer, with frequent email updates and motivating messages to take action and donate now.

"Children's cancer is an area near and dear to my heart...The Stand Up To Cancer model is trying to unite academic centers all around the world so you're not just getting one piece of data from one individual site, and that's really the only way you're really going to forward the frontiers of medicine." - Stacie Goldberg, M.D., Team Captain
