After the run/walk, the community gathers for breakfast with families impacted by childhood cancer and the nonprofits that support them. This shared meal humanizes childhood cancer, opening space for connection, understanding, and compassion. The CHAMPION Walk honors every child touched by cancer.

A childhood cancer diagnosis doesnt just alter a childs life; it transforms an entire familys world. Between hospital stays, treatment schedules, and the constant presence of fear, exhaustion, and financial stress, families often forget what it feels like to be together. Treatment Family Retreats provide a rare and meaningful break from that reality. These retreats give families a chance to step away from the relentless demands of treatment and into a space designed for healing in every sense. Here, families can reconnect without the burden of medical decisions, relax in a supportive community, and rediscover moments of joy that illness often takes away. Families spend time resting, laughing, sharing meals, and creating memories that remind them they are more than a diagnosis. They meet other families walking the same difficult journey, people who understand without explanation, and find comfort in knowing they are not alone. In this space, hope feels nearer, burdens feel lighter, and families gather the emotional strength needed to continue their fight. 0 17305 CHAMP delivers critical funding to roughly 28 childhood cancer 501(c)(3) nonprofits across Arizona each year, strengthening the entire network of support available to families facing the unthinkable. These grants dont just sustain programs; they change the lived experience of children on treatment, their parents, and their siblings. Every dollar CHAMP distributes becomes: A gas card that gets a parent to the hospital for another round of chemo A meal delivered on a day when no one has the energy to cook A sibling support program that reminds a brother or sister they havent been forgotten A therapeutic activity that lets a child on treatment feel like a kid again A respite moment that gives exhausted parents room to breathe By empowering dozens of specialized childhood cancer nonprofits, CHAMP ensures that families receive wraparound care, including emotional, financial, logistical, and community support, precisely when they need it most. CHAMP isnt just funding organizations; its lifting families, restoring moments of normalcy, and helping them navigate the hardest chapter of their lives with dignity and hope. 14850 14850 59806 Dennis Stevens Director 1.00 0 0 0 Isaac Kiehl Director 1.00 0 0 0 Kent LeFebre Chairperson 1.00 0 0 0 Kathryn LeFebre President/CEO 25.00 5000 0 0 Patricia Stevens Treasurer 1.00 0 0 0 Tyler Wilson Secretary 1.00 0 0 0 Brie Kiehl Director 0.50 0 0 0 false false false false false false false 0 0 0 false 0 0 false The Organization 10024 E Lomita Avenue Mesa AZ 85209 4808199434 false false false false false false false false false false false false NONE 0 NONE 0 true X 0 0 0 0 34517 71787 64538 60765 55627 287234 34517 71787 64538 60765 55627 287234 83372 203862 2 2 5 9 287243 0 0.70970 0.71010 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED Annual Pediatric Cancer Event 5k Race and Recognition 33042 16337 16705 650 640 16015 0 0 33042 16337 16705 0 0 650 640 0 16015 17305 -600 Part I, Line 4 Interest Income 5.
