Happy Birthday to hero dad, Tom. Tom turned his birthday day into a GIVING DAY. It was easy. All he did was pledge his birthday to Connor’s Heroes. Connor’s Heroes set him up with a personal fundraising page to collect donations online. Tom stood by his daughter Charlotte’s side as she underwent a long, difficult treatment for ALL. The family celebrated the end of her treatment with a neighborhood parade so big that it made the evening news.
Using our online giving tools, Tom raised close to $1,000 from his family, friends, and co-workers. Asked why he pledged his birthday, Tom said:
“2020 and some of 2021 showed all of us how critical it is that organizations like Connor’s Heroes keep their mission going — even when in-person events were put on pause. Childhood cancer families still needed financial and emotional support. Even today, Connor’s Heroes helps our family. By pledging my birthday to Connor’s Heroes, I did my part to make sure their mission continues.”
