CURE Childhood Cancer Association was formed in Rochester New York in 1976 by a group of parents who lost their children to cancer. They wanted to provide support to families going through the same experience, as well as raise money for cancer research. Today, CURE is the only organization in Rochester focused solely on meeting the emotional, social, financial and educational needs of children diagnosed with cancer and chronic blood disorders.

Sydneys' Smiles Casino Night Fundraiser for CURE

Sydney Edgecomb was diagnosed with Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia (ALL) on March 21, 2011 at the age of 7 months. This specific type of blood cancer is extremely rare in children under the age of one year old. For the first few months, Sydney was living at The Golisano Children's Hospital at the University of Rochester Medical Center in Rochester, NY undergoing intensive chemotherapy treatment. More recently, Sydney has been receiving chemotherapy in an outpatient setting. She is able to spend more time at home with her family however; the medical staff continues to keep her under close supervision. Her treatments are tiring and extremely difficult on her small and fragile body, but she is continuing the “cancer fight” with the goal of continued remission. Unfortunately, there are many children and families are going through similar types of cancer battles. There are many expenses that arise for families and it can be a great financial burden. In efforts to help these precious children like Sydney Edgecombe, the Edgecombs' and their close family and friends are holding a Casino Night to help raise money for CURE so together we can help all of the families whose children are diagnosed with cancer. Come enjoy Casino Games, Raffles, Silent Auction and a DJ at the Diplomat Party House. March 24th, doors open at 6:00 PM till 11:00 PM. Tickets are $30.00 per person or $50.00 per couple. Purchase tickets
