Keaton Raphael Memorial has grown into an invaluable resource for thousands of children with cancer and families in Northern California. Our mission is to support children with cancer and their families with emotional, educational, and financial support while increasing awareness and funding a research toward a cure. Why We Exist Worldwide a child is diagnosed with cancer every three minutes and in the U.S. more children die of childhood cancer than any other disease. Only 4 percent of all federal cancer research funding dedicated to pediatric cancer research, the Keaton Raphael Memorial and supporters are a vital resource as hope for those going through a fight no child nor their family should ever have to endear. How We Help Our Family Navigator Program provides families with information, resources and education necessary to navigate the complexities of their childhood cancer journey. One of the many programs is a ’HOPE Chest’ filled with educational resources, financial assistance and gifts for all family members helps with the anxiety induced by a cancer diagnosis. If a child loses their fight, the family is given a handmade memory box with grieving resources.
