During the month of July, teams of kids, from preschool to college, pledged to raise $500 each for childhood cancer heroes. The Jr. Hero Squad is a fun way for kids to help kids and share in the spirit of caring for others.
19 kids — from toddler to teen — joined the 2024 Jr. Hero Squad. Working together, the 2024 Jr. Hero Squad raised over $17,000 — tripling their original goal!
At Connor’s Heroes Night at Gelati Celsti, we had a mini-medal ceremony honoring the Jr. Hero Squad members.
A big thank you to the 2024 Jr. Hero Squad: Annabelle & Isaac, Emily, Finn, Hal & Maren, Julianna, Lincoln, Lauren, Lucas & Lily, Mark, Sarah Jane & Boden, Poppy, Valentin & Florian, and Wyatt. You were the hero who children with cancer needed. We were honored to have childhood cancer heroes Emily, Wyatt, Mia, Lauren & Valentin on the squad. They know first hand the impact Connor’s Heroes can have on a family.
The 2024 Jr. Hero Squad Top Fundraisers were:
First Place: Julianna
Second Place: Lauren
Third Place: Annabell, Isaac, Lily and Lucas
The Jr. Hero Squad is one way you can raise money for children with cancer using the power of your community. For example, instead of gifts on your birthday, ask for gifts to Connor’s Heroes! Connor’s Heroes makes it easy for you to fundraise online. We will set you up with a personal fundraising website. You share the link with your friends and family. They donate towards your goal. Email ceci@connorsheroes.org for more information.
