Help Us To Continue to Promote Blues in Northeast Pa., Support our
"Charity Through Music"™ Events and in Promoting Blues and Live Music in NEPA
Endless
Mountains Blues Festival™
Traditional blues is about heartache, bad luck, sorrow,
illness, loss of love, loneliness, poverty
and despair and loss of our natural beauty through destruction of our
environment. We'd like to do
what we can to use our musical talents to help those less fortunate. It's also about doing what we can to
save
and protect our region's natural resources, areas of natural beauty, and our
planet's future.
It's been singing the blues for a long time.

The cancers that attack children are different from the
principal cancers of adults.
Children frequently have a more advanced stage of cancer when they are
first diagnosed. Only about 20% of adults with cancer show evidence that
the disease has spread at the time of diagnosis, yet 80% of the children
who are diagnosed with cancer have disease which has already spread to
distant sites in the body.
Today, despite amazing research progress, cancer still
kills more children than any other disease. Each year cancer kills more
children between one and 20 years of age than asthma, diabetes, cystic
fibrosis, and AIDS, combined.
The National Childhood Cancer Foundation is the only national organization
focused solely on raising funds for research to “Conquer Kids’
Cancer.” The Foundation
supports the cooperative research of the Children’s Oncology Group,
a network of physicians and scientists located at over 240 top
children’s hospitals and cancer centers in the U.S. and beyond.
The Geisinger Medical Center, Danville,
Pa.is one of them. COG conducts ground-breaking
research, and gives state-of-the-art care to infants, children, teens and
young adults with cancer at over 235 institutions throughout North
America, and at sites in Europe and Australia. This network treats over
90% of all children with cancer in North America.
Working together, they find cures more quickly and efficiently
than if each hospital worked alone.

The Childhood Cancer Gold Ribbon has become the unifying symbol for
childhood
cancer awareness, symbolizing the precious nature of all children and the
golden flame
of hope that burns brightly for childhood cancer patients, survivors,
families and caregivers
Dedicated to conquering childhood cancer
through research, education and support of the patients and their
families. CURE's mission is to fund research and to support children
with cancer and their families

A Haven Within the
Hospital
Ronald McDonald Family Rooms are an extension of the Ronald McDonald
House program, providing a haven within the hospital for the families
of children undergoing treatment. The Ronald McDonald House is a
home-away-from-home for the families of children hospitalized for
treatment of cancer and other serious illnesses. The Family Room provides some
comforts of home to alleviate the anxiety and frustration of the hospital
environment. Families use the Family Room to rest, reflect or even
freshen up with a shower.
Refugee Assistance
RMHC joins the American Refugee
Committee to address the medical, educational, and financial needs of
families separated by civil unrest.
Working to Save Young Lives
Suicide is the third leading cause of death among children and youth
between the ages of 10 and 24, according to the Center for Disease
Control. In an effort to create awareness of this national health
problem, create life-saving support for children at risk, and provide
intervention tools for the people close to them, Ronald McDonald House
Charities supports a number of suicide prevention initiatives
The Ronald McDonald Care Mobile
program brings free, high-quality medical and dental care directly to

The mission of the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve Toys for
Tots Program is to collect new, unwrapped toys during October, November
and December each year and distribute those toys as Christmas gifts to
needy children in the community in which the campaign is conducted. The
primary goal of Toys for Tots is to deliver, through a shiny new toy at
Christmas, a message of hope to needy youngsters that will motivate them
to grow into responsible, productive, patriotic citizens and community
leaders.
The objectives of Toys for Tots are to help needy
children throughout the United States experience the joy of Christmas;
to play an active role in the development of our nation's most valuable
natural resource - our children; to unite all members of local
communities in a common cause for three months each year during the
annual toy collection and distribution campaign; to contribute to better
communities in the future.

Founded in 1953 to
foster the science of cancer immunology, which is based on the premise
that the body's immune system can be mobilized against cancer. This field
has been recognized throughout the world as offering great hope for the
ultimate prevention and treatment of human cancer
