Social Entrepreneurs ... Children's Cancer Network
Today at the Arizona Biltmore, the Children's Cancer Network (CCN) held their annual fundraising fashion show Inspirations: Dreams & Destinations. The founding story of CCN reminds us that social entrepreneurship can begin with any of us ...
When Jenny was a teenager, her brother Jeff was diagnosed with cancer. Jenny took action and started a service project through the Chandler Flower Girls that would grow and become CCN. Jeff is now a "multi-time cancer survivor" and the family continues to lead the organization with Patti (mom) serving as Executive Director while Steve (dad) serves as Board President.
The Luttrell family and generous donors and volunteers have helped many. The mission and values of CCN?
We support children and families throughout their cancer journey with programs and services designed to provide financial assistance, promote education, encourage healthy lifestyles, and create an awareness of issues they face related to childhood cancer.
