EDUCATIONAL ADVOCACY PROGRAM

TOOLS FOR SCHOOL 

This program is available to families of all income levels and gives parents the necessary tools to support and advocate for their child’s academic career and provides a smooth transition back to school following treatment.  

TUTORING SERVICES
Youth and young adults in need of individualized academic support can apply to receive up to 24hrs of virtual or in-person tutoring services in partnership with Grade Potential Tutoring Agency. This program is recommended for those in maintenance or remission. Families can receive tutoring support for siblings as well!
 

NEUROPSYCHOLOGICAL TESTING
To help families address learning difficulties associated with cancer treatment, TBCF covers up to $1,500 for neuropsychological testing. Test results are used to better understand and effectively advocate for their child’s academic needs.

"It was more than just assistance with the academic transition; it was a time to listen, guide and validate the multitude of feelings that surrounded her as she was trying to live life as a child again. If she didn't receive the extra help, she would have  had a much harder time. She is now in remission and receiving A's and B's  in her 8th grade classes in middle school!”

Why Gold?

Although many colors were considered, gold was agreed upon as the ideal choice for childhood cancer awareness because gold is a precious metal, and is therefore the perfect color to reflect the most precious thing in our lives - our children.
