As a childhood cancer advocate for the past 7 years, I can attest that children with cancer and their families have benefitted greatly from Arms Wide Open Childhood Cancer Foundation programs and vision. I have worked with them to lobby Congress to pass legislation that is vital to obtaining research funds for pediatric cancers and funding to help survivors. I have witnessed their work in helping families who are struggling with problems due to the financial burden they must bear when they lose income, and or have extra travel expenses due to their child's cancer. The families are also helped with bereavement programs when they have a child taken by cancer. AWOCCF is the glue to the fabric of our childhood cancer community through CureFest, a huge September event, held in Washington, DC each year that brings thousands of people together to bring awareness to address the needs of childhood cancer. In addition, they fund one of the largest voices in the country, The Truth365, which has over 150,000 followers that are united and strengthened because of the information, help, and direction they receive as followers. I do not know what our community would do without such a great organization. Joe Baber
Such a beautiful foundation that helps families and also who fights for childhood cancer awareness. Dena Sherwood is the light to so many by using her voice to help others.
The childhood cancer community is the community no one ever wants to join. But it is a string, supportive, passionate community.
Arms Wide Open and Dena are are HUGE part of that making our community strong.
My daughter was diagnosed in 2018. I’ve witnessed our community coming together and growing stronger through our adversities and grief. Arms Wide Open has brought so many organizations together. We all have one purpose… to defeat childhood cancer FOREVER.
Curefest is an amazing event. We’ve not yet been able attend in person and hope to this year. But even if we can’t be there in person we know the virtual event will be just as powerful.
Thank you, Dena. Thank you Arms Widd Open… for all that you do for our cups good cancer community
Dena Sherwood makes Arms Wide Open one of my favorite charities. She secures grants to fund pediatric cancer research. This research is so needed to help secure better outcomes with less toxic side effects for children. But, not only does she work tirelessly to secure funds, she shares stories so we can walk and support families. She has created a community with her efforts and this charity. She supports families on a monthly basis and uses every dollar wisely. In a world where you are not clear if you donations to non-profits have an impact, with Arms Wide Open, I fully trust that every dollar makes a difference.

I got to know Dena by reading the story of her son Billy, "No Retreat, No Surrender". I reached out to her to learn more about what she was doing with Arms Wide Open and became a donor. They fund research and grants, generate awareness for childhood cancer and help struggling families financially. They create care packages and are a supportive community for families. When a friend's granddaughter was diagnosed with neuroblastoma, Dena was there to help that family. This is an altruistic organization run with love, compassion and support. They do good by children and families and continue to have an impact. They have my vote and support as one of the best non-profits out there.
After losing our beloved son to childhood cancer, Arms Wide Open was there to give us the support that we needed to help guide us through our grief. I could not thank them enough for the programs and services that they provided for cancer families like ours.
I learned of the Sherwood family’s incredible story starting with Billy’s diagnosis from his cousins while giving haircuts at the children salon I worked at. Eventually Billy himself became my customer & I learned more about childhood cancer through Dena & her sister Linda. Several years in a row they invited me to help raise money at their Shave for a Cure event in NYC. I was so inspired & impressed with the foundation & the survivors who bravely told their stories & educated us on what needs to be done to eradicate this awful disease. God bless everyone involved & affected by childhood cancer.
After my son, Kyle passed away from leukemia 7 years ago, we set out to fulfill his wish of ending childhood cancer. A friend mentioned AWOCCF/T365 and I sent an email through the website. Dena called me right away and I cannot say in words how much this amazing woman has done to support me, my family and our ability to make a difference in memory of our son. We started Kyle's Crusaders and an annual fundraising walk to raise money for Arms Wide Open for pediatric cancer research. Dena, has opened her arms to us and has supported us through all aspects of our fundraising journey. We have raised over $200K and helped fund several pediatric research grants in Kyle's memory. We are so blessed to be able to channel our grief to help others and fulfill Kyle's wish. We love Dena and all the amazing folks at Arms Wide Open Childhood Cancer Foundation who selflessly give of their hearts, time & energy to end childhood cancer. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for all that you have done and continue to do for our children. We love you!
Four years ago, the Swirls Around the World Family attended our very first CureFest For Childhood Cancer. CureFest has become one of our most treasured family traditions. Each year becomes more special, powerful, moving, and memorable. The connections we have made at CureFest have become our family. They are the greatest blessings in our lives. And this is all made possible by the incredible Arms Wide Open Childhood Cancer Foundation and their team of heroes, lead by a family of warriors and inspired by a pediatric cancer survivor.
The Arms Wide Open Childhood Cancer Foundation lives up to their name every single day- they open their arms to all families and offer support in all areas: from funding groundbreaking research projects and grants, providing support to families through hope & healing bereavement retreats and financially through Helping Hands, to starting a worldwide movement in the fight against pediatric cancer, uniting the world as one voice.

The Arms Wide Open Childhood Cancer Foundation holds a special place in my heart. When I think of the AWOCCF, I think of compassion, creating awareness, helping families, dedication, supportive, endless hope & love. I’m happy to partner with Dena and her amazing organization to make a difference in the lives of those who need it the most.
Caring and loving people that made it their goal to help bereaved families heal and raise awareness for childhood cancer. Can’t thank you enough for your work and dedication.
As Dena's neighbor, we learned of sweet little Billy's unimaginable diagnosis of cancer.
As a Christian, I am inspired, humbled and awe struck of Dena's Faith, Valor and Strength.

The 1Voice Foundation has had the privilege of knowing Dena Sherwood for over 5 years. She is an incredible advocate for pediatric cancer families and the issues that they face. Dena is extremely dedicated and compassionate. She herself has experienced childhood cancer in her own family when her son Billy was diagnosed. She shares her journey by helping so many other families dealing with all the struggles of having a child with cancer.
Arms Wide Open not only funds pediatric cancer research, they assist families financially with grants to help with the devastating financial impact that this disease has on a family.
Arms Wide Open Hosts bereavement retreats across the Country, to bring families together who are dealing with the loss of a child to pediatric cancer. I am a pediatric oncology social worker and have Co Hosted o bereavement retreat with Arms Wide Open and have seen first hand how beneficial and supportive the retreats are. I myself lost my 9 year old son Jay to childhood cancer and appreciate Arms Wide Open supporting bereaved families.
Arms Wide Open sponsors and Hosts Curefest each September in Washington DC. It is the largest gathering of pediatric cancer families, non profits and advocates in the Country. (Probably the world) The event raises awareness and allows for networking at the National level.

I sponsored the first Walk-A-Thon for Dena's son, Billy, and have raised money for this organization through my business. I cannot speak more highly for the tireless work Dena and this organization puts in to fighting childhood cancer. She is an inspiration to all who meet her. There are very few people in this world that elevate humanity to the level she has done. I am humbled to call her friend and so deeply touched by the work she has done. Her strength is her faith and the power of her faith shines in everything she does. God will continue to bless Arms Wide Open.

I witnessed the start of this organization from the very beginning when Dena Sherwood's son Billy was diagnosed with cancer. Not only has Dena and her organization raised money for childhood cancer, but she has inspired her community to do more, to be more, and to care more. When we open our hearts and arms and minds to helping others, particularly those most vulnerable, we change our world. Dean and Arms Wide Open have done that with great enthusiasm, laser focus, and an unrelenting commitment to serving children who most need our help. Praise their work!
AWOCCF is a beautifully run non profit organization that helps families and their children. AWOCCF is committed to starting a national movement to give children with cancer & their families a voice, to give them hope, & to raise awareness globally. Dena Sherwood provides loving support for all who are suffering with childhood cancer. She is a remarkable dedicated woman & I am so proud to know her !
AWOcc is a beautifully run charity organization which helps so many families. It needs more funding.
I’m so glad I found them. In the darkest days of our grief over the loss of our precious son, a random social media post led me to Arms wide open and to a phone call with Dena Sherwood. With her encouragement and connections to the pediatric cancer research realm, Dena gave us the most wonderful gift...a way to honor our son. After that fateful call, our family organized an annual 5K in memory of our son and we have since raised $80k for the benefit of pediatric cancer research via AWO. Because of her encouragement and connections, we were able to rise up out of our grief and do something positive in his precious name. I don’t even want to think about where I’d be if Arms Wide Open hadn’t given us this amazing opportunity to remember our son. Our precious Cooper fought multiple cancers for 6 long years and, thanks to AWO, his battle against pediatric cancer continues.
I've had the opportunity to work with many childhood cancer advocates and foundations over the past ten years and Arms Wide Open CCF ranks up there at the top. They commit and they follow through always. They have been instrumental in helping so many families, kids battling cancer, foundations and tenacious in their desire to create change that will result in cures for children battling cancer. In addition to supporting research, families and kids they have also been a major participant in spreading awareness about the needs of childhood cancer research. Curefest will be 10 years old in 2021 and Arms Wide Open is the reason that it will see that 10th Anniversary. It has grown bigger each year and gives foundations and families the chance to work together and know they are not alone in this battle to change the picture for kids and to make childhood cancer research a #nationalpriority! Thank you Arms Wide Open for all you do each day to change this picture for kids battling cancer.
Dena Sherwood and Arms Wide Open was one of the first organizations who helped us when our daughter Brooke was diagnosed with Neuroblastoma a childhood cancer. When we were thrown into the unknown, Dena came to our rescue with her love, experience, guidance and support. She gave us hope. Arm Wide Open advocates for our children. The money they raise provided my child as well as so many children with new trials that would otherwise not be at our disposal. Our hearts will always be grateful for this woman who has a heart of gold and this organization who whenever we were in need, didn’t hesitate to help.
Through it all.. Arms Wide Open was there for our daughter Brooke... and our family. Our baby girl fought cancer for nearly 5 years and AWOCCF was there for her. Family financial support, Mom self care, help with flights, resources, helping advocate on Capitol Hill... and even family bereavement services 5 years after our baby girl went to be in the arms of Jesus.... Arms Wide Open has been there for us through it all.
We
Love

I found out about Arms Wide Open Childhood Cancer Foundation several years ago when I met Dena Sherwood at the Curefest event in Washington, D.C. The tireless effort that this organization expends to support a greatly underserved population, children and families tragically impacted by childhood cancer, is a model of compassionate outreach and grace. Whether providing direct, tangible, practical relief and emotional support to families or lobbying our nation’s leaders to raise awareness of the needs of these precious children, Arms Wide Open is at the forefront of the battle for the lives of our children.

Arms Wide Open is an amazing foundation that helps so many families fighting the childhood cancer beast. In addition they are collaborative with many other foundations working to raise awareness and fund childhood cancer research.
Working with Dena on the Southwest Hope and Healing Retreat for the past two years has been a joy! Unfortunately, due to COVID, we had to postpone this year’s retreat to Aug, 2021. Dena is very genuine, caring, and works hard to help families who have children being treated for cancer. Arms Wide Open also finds much needed research for neuroblastoma. Dena is an inspiration to me, as I lost my daughter in 1999 to neuroblastoma, and have a non-profit in Tucson, helping childhood cancer patients and their families.
Arms Wide Open Childhood Cancer Foundation, Inc. is an outstanding foundation supporting children and families who face childhood cancer.

I spoke with Dena Sherwood from Arms Wide Open shortly after my 16 year old son died from leukemia. Finding a charity that focuses on pediatric cancer research wasn’t hard but finding one that would allow 100% of donations to go to research and was personally overseen by the most caring woman I’ve ever met was. I felt so comfortable with Dena and AWOCCF’s mission that I’ve been fundraising for them for five years now to help fulfill my sons wish for a cure to pediatric cancer. AWOCCF is a wonderful organization led by a compassionate, determined and committed team who put kids and their families first. I can’t thank them enough for allowing me the opportunity to help others in my sons memory.

I lost my 16-year-old son to leukemia last year. Always thinking of others, he told me of his wish for a cure for childhood cancer. I wasn't sure where to start but knew that my mission in life was now to fulfill my son's wish. I heard about Arms Wide Open from a friend and contacted Dena Sherwood about how I could help them raise money for pediatric cancer research.
Dena called me right away and I felt like I was talking to a long-lost friend. She helped me understand what AWOCCF does to support children and their families and how I can make a difference in memory of my son. I knew from the moment that we spoke that this amazing woman was a compassionate champion for our children. Having known her now for over a year, I am even more impressed with her commitment, leadership and desire to make childhood cancer a national priority.
I can't tell you how rewarding it is to know that the funds we raise in memory of my son are helping researchers discover new and less destructive therapies and will ultimately lead to a cure for all childhood cancers. AWOCCF lets me know exactly what research grants they are funding right down to the type of cancer, the name of the doctor and the hospital where the research is being done. Amazing!
Cancer robbed my son of his life and our family of one of the most kindhearted and loving kids ever to walk the face of this earth. AWOCCF has given me a way to channel my grief into action, honor my son's memory, and help to fulfill his wish to end childhood cancer.
I became involved with this foundation when it first began after my cousin was diagnosed with cancer. Arms Wide Open has been such a blessing. I have met so many incredible individuals, families, children and doctors. I have met childhood cancer warriors who advocate while still fighting and some who have unfortunately passed away, but regardless their voices still resonate daily. This foundation changes lives of so many. Knowing all of those involved and that I have crossed paths with and being able to play a role in AWOCCF has changed my life for the better.
This is an amazing organization that makes a real difference in the fight against childhood cancer; providing funding for cures, creating awareness, helping families and being a voice for the youngest of our citizens.

We have benefited from the amazing outreach to bereaved parents and families. After my teenaged son passed away from his cancer, my daughter managed to find out about a weekend put on for bereaved families run by AWOCCF. I didn't want to go, didn't want to be there, BUT I felt so supported and loved throughout the weekend. Amazing group that truly cares about childhood cancer patients and their families.
This is an amazing foundation headed by an even more amazing woman!
As a Bereaved Parent who lost my daughter to Childhood Cancer, I’ve been to 3 of their Bereavement Retreats.
Dena does a fabulous job of not only promoting awareness and helping to find cancer research but she does amazing things for us bereaved parents also!
I can’t say enough about this organization and how helpful it’s been to me and my family.

We lost our baby girl to Childhood Cancer a little over a year ago. Shortly after she passed we went to an Arms Wide Open Bereavement Retreat. We felt such love and support. They care so much about the families impacted by Childhood Cancer and do so much for people who are still fighting as well as those of us who lost our children. I truly cannot give enough praise and thanks to this foundation.
So grateful for the constant love, compassion and support of this organization. It makes us all a part of something bigger and we are better together!

This organization goes above and beyond, every time. I have experienced a night for mom's at the RMDHNYC, Curefest, and two Bereavement Retreats. The details that go into everything they do means the world to us. The love and support is always abundant and the connections made between families through these events will last a lifetime. Thank you for all that you do Dena and Arms Wide Open!
I have participated in programming sponsored by this foundation for the last 4 years. I recently was able to take advantage of a bereavement retreat for families impacted by Childhood Cancer. It was elegant, compassionate, caring and full of love.
Before my son passed away from leukemia in 2015, he expressed to me his desire for there to be a cure for childhood cancer. In his memory, I wanted to find a way to make his wish a reality in the only way I knew I could and that is to fundraise for pediatric cancer research.
I researched many non-profits to raise money for but was disappointed that a good chunk of fundraising money went to administrative costs. A friend told me about AWOCCF and I reached out. Dena spent an hour on the phone with me sharing her story, her foundation mission and encouraging me to do what I was comfortable doing. It was a great match! I can now fundraise and be confident that the donations from our supportive community are going to research -100% and Dena makes sure of that. She's amazing and tremendously supportive.
AWOCCF and it's founder, Dena, have hearts of gold. I've met so many supportive people that have helped me navigate this new reality I find myself in.
We just returned from a bereaved parents retreat put on by Arms Wide Open. I didn't want to be there because of the reason I was there but it was just what I needed. A chance to connect with other grieving families without judgement and with understanding and compassion. We are so grateful to have been there and hope we can attend in the future.
I had the opportunity to attend two bereavement retreats hosted by Arms Wide Open foundation, and the impact on me has been immeasurable. All that this foundation and it’s volunteers give so humbly and graciously to those of us who have lost children to cancer is gratefully accepted and treasured. I am so grateful for the connections i have made with other grieving mamas through the work of this foundation. They provide so much needed Goodness ❤️.
My daughter and I have attended the Arms Wide Open Bereavement Retreat a few times. It has given us the opportunity to meet families who understand and create friendships with these families. Dena and the whole crew do such an amazing job!
They are one of the best. They come along parents, support them both physically as well as spiritually. They walk the course with those they come alongside and get to know every person they support. Outstanding group.
AWOCC is an organization run by people who are heaven sent...angels on earth who have hearts of gold!
I decided to write this review because I am so impressed by and grateful for the way AWOCCF has really focused in on the work needed to improve outcomes and quality of life for children with cancer. First, AWOCCF is funding the types of clinical trials that lead to more effective therapies and less toxic therapies – so crucial, because such new therapies are the only way more children can survive and also have healthy future lives. And not only does AWOCCF do its own fundraising, but it's communicating this desperate need to a much wider population with its very powerful Truth 365 media campaign. In addition, by co-hosting the annual Curefest event in DC, AWOCC brings pediatric cancer stakeholders together and facilitates more effective, more coordinated advocacy for the cause. Finally, and equally important, AWOCCF is giving direct support to the families actually going through pediatric cancer, with its financial assistance and variety of wellness programs. Keep up the excellent work, AWOCCF, and many, many thanks from a "cancer mom"!!
Arms Wide Open has been there through thick and thin when ever a family fighting cancer is in need. Dena Sherwood and her volunteers are truly angels on earth...God Bless you all.
When my Grandson was first Diagnosed with stage IV neuroblastoma not only did Dena reach out to our family but she contacted doctors at sloan and was able to get us in contact with the doctors who ultimately saved his life with their protocols . Arms wide open childhood cancer foundation also provided us with some financial assistance as well as a place to go for information on new and existing options out there that might benefit our grandson.
I found A.W.O.C.C.F to be more than a foundation that help meet the needs of many cancer families through their many outreaches but a foundation with a human touch .
Dena is an incredible support to families that are going through and living out neuroblastoma diagnosis. She was our life line when our son was first diagnosed feeding us with hope and helping us make connections to get the best care possible. We are eternally grateful for her and all this foundation does to help families in crisis.
When my nephew was diagnosed with neuroblastoma we were lost. Arms Wide Open literally forced themselves into his parents life and helped them overcome the shock of the diagnosis and move forward. It would have been neatly impossible without them. Thank you...
Absolutely incredible pediatric cancer organization that supports not only research but the families directly affected by this insidious disease. Our family is so grateful for all that they do to support pediatric cancer research!
My favorite charity! Helpful, willing, called, responsive, supportive, loving and overall amazing. Arms Wide Open has helped countless families and given them HOPE. I love them and everything they stand for.
Arms Wide Open Childhood Cancer Foundation has been the driving force in uniting Childhood Cancer organizations across the country and around the word to to come together to raise awareness of this devastating disease. Their passion and commitment is like no other. It is through them and the vision of Dena Sherwood that Curefest in Washington, DC came to life. This is now the largest Childhood Cancer event in the nation every year, bringing together tens of thousands of people together with one goal, to raise awareness and educate the public of the need to find a cure for children everywhere. All of this along with funding vital research and supporting families with children in the battle as well as those who have lost their beloved child makes Arms Wide Open a 5 Star foundation.
Arms Wide Open Childhood Cancer Foundation was there for us so that we could be there for our child. They lifted a financial burden to allow us to focus only on getting Luke the best possible care. Not only did they support us financially but they also helped to fund the clinical trials that saved his life. AWOCCF were there for us in two very different ways, both of which were instrumental in my son’s healing. The personal financial support was quick and tangible but the clinical trial funding helped us in a way that can never be repayed and for that we will always be grateful.
