“Nearly 300,000 kids every year are diagnosed worldwide with cancer. One in 285 children in the United States will be diagnosed with cancer by the time they are 20 years old. Childhood cancer is the leading cause of death by disease in children under the age of 19 in the United States, yet receives less than 4% of national cancer funding.

“In August 2016, Piper Samuels was diagnosed with Ewing sarcoma, a form of bone and soft tissue cancer that effects approximately 200 children each year in the United States. Piper fought bravely and fiercely, always with dignity, grace, and her remarkable smile. Unfortunately, she passed away on August 13, 2017, just 12 months after diagnosis. She is the reason Piper’s parents decided that they must continue this fight.

“In partnership with the 1 Million 4 Anna Foundation, Piper’s Legacy was created to honor their beautiful angel by promoting awareness and raising funds to fight Ewing sarcoma. In 2017, Piper’s Legacy donated $50,000 to the Whitehurst Lab at The University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center (UT Southwestern) to further the lab’s promising Ewing sarcoma research. Our goal is to contribute at least $50,000 in 2018 and every year thereafter until we eradicate this disease. 100% of the proceeds will be used for promising Ewing sarcoma research.

“Currently, we plan to host two major fundraising events in 2018: “Rock the Challenge” (a 14+ station obstacle course) on Saturday, June 9 and a clambake on Friday, November 16.
