Mission: Cc4c matches each sponsored child with a champion teammate and a high school team. The teammates use their platform or celebrity status to provide the child with unforgettable and unique experiences. The children are also made honorary members of the high school teams. These interactions provide the children with inspiring events to look forward to and the ability to attend and participate in team gatherings that would otherwise be impossible. These experiences help them to take their minds off of the countless medical visits they have to endure. The children are empowered to have visions of their recovery finish lines and the teammates are provided a reason beyond themselves to compete. These children would never have the opportunity to be part of such team and this partnership allows the dream to come true. Cc4c forms a support network.
Programs: Assistance to children with undiagnosed diseases ranging from medical travel reimbursement, medical expenses, and gifts of encouragement. Sponsored children are invited to attend micromarathon and other events with their champion teammates, a local athlete and a local high school team.
