Childhood Cancer

Do you know someone or are you dealing with Childhood Cancer?  Did you know that Childhood Cancer Research gets the LEAST amount of funding by the United States Federal Government. Less than 4% to be exact! That is appalling!!! Most adult cancers do not occur in children. The simple downsizing of adult dosage is where we are at now. The long term consequences of this treatment has demonstrated time and time again to be simply unacceptable! Without the proper funding directed at Children’s Cancer Research so many children would not get exactly what they need to cure their cancers safely and effectively.

I decided that our Grand Opening Celebration on June 7th should not be just about us opening our store but instead helping others.  I don't know what I would do if my child was diagnosed with cancer.  I don't know if I could handle seeing he or she sick or watching them watch all their friends play while they are stuck on the couch with nausea.  What would you do if it was your kid? 

Please help Tim and I in our quest to raise money to cure childhood cancers. Join us on Saturday, June 7th at TZE Contractor Supply for our Grand Opening Celebration & St. Baldricks fundraiser. We are still looking for shavees so if you are interested in raising money to help these kids get the proper treatment they need, contact me directly. If you want to help by making a donation you can log onto our website (www.tzecontractorsupply.net) and follow the links to our fundraiser page.  2 hours out of your day or a shaved head is NOTHING compared to what these kids have to go through.
