August 2026 Newsletter
C.U.R.E. Childhood Cancer Association is celebrating 50 years of impact, hope, and walking alongside Families during their most difficult times. As we honor the legacy built by our Founders, Supporters & Families, we’re also preparing for an exciting future. While we take pride in how far we’ve come, we’re even more energized by what’s ahead. Big, exciting things are on the horizon—the next chapter of C.U.R.E. is just the beginning.
Happy Anniversary, Diane!
✨Wishing our dear Diane a Happy 2nd Anniversary! Over the past two years, Diane has brought so much light, strength, and heart to our organization. She is someone who cares deeply for everyone around her, constantly offering a listening ear, a helping hand, and a kind word whenever it’s needed most.
Whether she’s nurturing her beautiful garden at home or helping our community grow, Diane’s steady presence is a gift to us all. She models bravery and quiet strength every single day, facing challenges head-on and lifting others up in the process.
When she isn't busy being an incredible teammate, you can usually find her relaxing with a crisp Diet Coke in hand or passionately cheering on the Buffalo Bills. 💙❤️ (Go Bills!)
Diane, thank you for your unwavering dedication, your big heart, and the warmth you bring to C.U.R.E. every day. We are so lucky to have you on our team!
A note from Holly…
In December 2010, I set out to find a volunteer organization that would connect me deeply with our community. Having grown up in the Catholic school system, service and community participation were already part of who I was. Through communitywishbook.org, I came across a request for volunteers at C.U.R.E.’s Holiday Party.
After just one evening, I was hooked. I fell in love with C.U.R.E.’s mission: supporting families through treatment and beyond in quiet, essential ways. The work isn't flashy—there are no big trips or grand renovations. Instead, C.U.R.E. offers steady, everyday support. It acts as a friend walking alongside Families, lifting them up on their darkest days and celebrating every victory. The organization runs entirely on passion for its mission and compassion for its Families.
Eager to do more, a friend and I launched Cutting 4 A CURE, a fundraiser collecting hair donations for children’s wigs while raising funds for C.U.R.E. Over five years, the event raised nearly $30,000. As my dedication grew, I volunteered at every opportunity, chaired the Live Auction for the Recipe for a C.U.R.E. Sunday Brunch (yes, I was a part of the controversial dog year), and was eventually invited to join the Board of Directors.
When the Executive Director resigned during my first year on the Board, I worried someone new might shift C.U.R.E.’s unique culture. Though I was only in my late twenties with no formal leadership experience, my deep commitment led me to apply. In April 2014, I was hired as Associate Director, and by February 2016, I was named Executive Director.
For over a decade, I have poured myself into this cause, working nights and weekends to serve our Families, volunteers, and team. In return, I’ve had the privilege of knowing the most inspiring and caring Families, donors, Founders, and community members. Aside from being a mom to three children (my "Dutchlings"), leading C.U.R.E. has been the greatest honor of my life.
As much as I have loved and am grateful for the 12+ years I have been on staff at C.U.R.E., it's time for me to move on to my next adventure, a new season focused on my family. As an Aquinas alumnus, I am happy to share that I will be joining their team as the Director of the Aquinas Fund and Engagement next month. Having the opportunity to give back to my alma mater and hopefully impact the lives of the community at Aquinas just as I was is truly an honor.
C.U.R.E. will always hold a special place in my heart. I will continue to volunteer, participate in events (I even have my blood donation appointment scheduled for next month - do you? Sign up here), and attend events like the upcoming Golden Gala (have you purchased your tickets yet?! If not, buy yours here.). Thank you for welcoming me, believing in me, and allowing me to lead. I look forward to cheering on C.U.R.E.'s next chapter from the sidelines. I have full faith in the leadership of C.U.R.E. and especially our Team, to continue to grow our organization and support local Families.

Spotlight on: Tommy
Meet our Friend, Tommy!
In October of 2025, I got really sick and had to stay in the hospital for two weeks! I had a huge lump on my neck and the hospital team biopsied it. We found out I had something called cancer (Stage 2A Hodgkin’s Lymphoma). That was really scary. I had to go to a lot of doctor appointments (Shout out Dr. Fierlage and Nurse Practitioner Alex - they’re the best!) and spend time in the hospital.
Some days were really hard. I didn’t feel like myself, and I missed just being a regular kid. But I wasn’t alone. My family was with me the whole time, and they helped me through it.
Now, I’m getting stronger every day!
Congratulations, Maya!
Three cheers for our Friend, Maya! We celebrated Maya’s End of Chemo in our special Bell Ringing Room in July! Maya was joined by many family members, friends and even teachers! Maya selected a delicious meal from Mark’s Pizzeria that was generously provided by our Friends at Renewal by Andersen. Maya was gifted the coolest Unicorn Barbie and a Kittycorn Squishmallow! Her brother selected toy trucks and a Squishmallow, too! We love celebrating these special moments with our Families and are touched to be a part of this momentous occasion!
“R” is for Research
Did you know the “R” in “C.U.R.E.” represents “Research”? While helping Families now, during their fight, and beyond remains a core mission at C.U.R.E., we also respect and value the research being done at Golisano Children’s Hospital. Did you know the early Founders of C.U.R.E. presented one of the first (if not THE first) microscope to Strong Memorial Hospital? The Fellows are such a vital piece of the puzzle, especially in the Pediatric Oncology Hematology Department. C.U.R.E. is honored to have presented the team with a $5,000 check to be used by the Fellowship Research Program in the Peds Heme/Onc Department to help further their work.
Hey, C.U.R.E. Parents:
Did you know we have a private Facebook Group JUST for you? Connect with other parents. Ask questions about treatment, education help and more. Learn from others.

August Candlelight Yoga Night for C.U.R.E. Parents
C.U.R.E. is now offering Yoga classes for C.U.R.E. parents and will eventually broaden the program to provide parent and child classes, virtual opportunities and more.
Yoga is highly effective for improving both physical and mental health by building strength, flexibility, and balance while reducing stress, anxiety, and chronic pain. It promotes better cardiovascular health, aids in weight management, and enhances mental clarity, sleep quality, and overall longevity.
C.U.R.E. Parents: watch program emails for sign up information to register to join us on Tuesday, July 21st from 6 PM - 7:00 PM! RSVP Required
Please contact Carol Austin if you have any further questions, carol.austin@curekidscancer.com
Coffee & Connections!
The fourth Tuesday of the month, we are hosting Grandparent Coffee Hour here at the C.U.R.E. Office. Grandparents are so heavily involved in the lives of their grandchildren. The weight of helping their child through a diagnosis and their grandchild through treatment can be heavy. We want to connect you to one another - to lean on one another - and build your village of support. We hope C.U.R.E. Grandparents will join us monthly and build connections! Let us pour into you like you pour into others! Please reach out to Carol at Carol.Austin@curekidscancer.com
Wilmot Cancer Institute Survivors Night with the Rochester Red Wings!
C.U.R.E. Families had a fantastic time attending the Wilmot Cancer Institute Survivors Night with the Rochester Red Wings! It was a wonderful evening filled with baseball, laughter, smiles, and the opportunity to celebrate cancer survivors and their families. Our C.U.R.E. Families members enjoyed spending time together and cheering on the Red Wings from the stands. The night was a special reminder of the strength, courage, and community that surrounds those impacted by cancer. C.U.R.E. was honored to provide tickets to C.U.R.E. Families and help make this memorable evening possible. We are so grateful for the opportunity to share such a fun and meaningful night together!
July PNO - Miniature Golf
One C.U.R.E. Family braved the smokey conditions from the Canadian wildfires to come and play miniature golf. It was an exceptionally hazy and humid night, but this sweet couple came out to play against each other to see who could get a hole in one!!
Parents’ Night Out
It was a wonderful evening to start raising awareness about Childhood Cancer in September for Childhood Cancer Awareness month. Diane, Bereaved Family Advocate & Carol, Program Coordinator collaborated to have a special night of making awareness mats for Families to put out during September (or all year long) to continue to draw attention to and educate people about childhood cancer. Look how crafty our Parents are with their beautiful artwork! Kids get cancer too!

These special opportunities allow kids who are battling cancer to regain a sense of normalcy in their lives, find respite from the challenges of cancer treatment and spend time learning and enjoying a new activity.
The Vertex Foundation Scholarship for SCD & TDT helps people with sickle cell disease (SCD) or transfusion-dependent beta thalassemia (TDT) and their immediate families (spouses, siblings, caregivers and children) pursue two-year, three-year, four-year or graduate degrees by offsetting some of the cost of attending college or graduate school.
CANDICE’S SICKLE CELL FUND SCHOLARSHIP
Candice’s Sickle Cell Anemia Fund, Inc., is a powerful initiative founded by Candice Young-Deler, who has courageously overcome the challenges of living with Sickle Cell Disease. Inspired by her own academic journey, Candice created this scholarship to support students living with Sickle Cell who are pursuing higher education.
Each year, the fund awards $1,500 scholarships to three deserving individuals, helping ease the financial burden and recognize their resilience and determination. These scholarships not only provide financial support but also affirm the strength and potential of students facing chronic health challenges.
💡 Why It Matters:
Students with Sickle Cell often face painful health episodes that disrupt their education. This fund helps ensure that their dreams of college and career success remain within reach.

Some opportunities require commitment to a childhood cancer advocacy project while in college, while others make you eligible for you just being you. But you do need to apply!

We are so touched to have been included, once again, in honoring the memory of Amanda Conrow. The Eastside Little League hosted their Hot Dog Day in June and raised over $1,000 for C.U.R.E.! We love the excuse to eat hot dogs for breakfast. Our community lost one of the most special Minions in February 2015. Amanda Grace Conrow was truly a shining light. We are so honored to be included in remembering such a sweet girl.
