New initiative will provide year-round donor funding and sustained support to children conquering childhood cancer

HERSHEY, PA – Four Diamonds today announced a new program designed to fuel steady, dependable funding for groundbreaking research, superior care and comprehensive support for eligible children and families facing childhood cancer.

The Four Diamonds Champions program was built on the belief that childhood cancer is a 365-day challenge. Monthly contributions will now empower donors to secure sustained progress and provide encouragement to children throughout the year as they face the often unpredictable challenges that a pediatric cancer diagnosis presents.

Consistent giving provides a meaningful way to invest in children and families as well as care providers and researchers in their quest to conquer cancer. Through automatic recurring gifts, Champions will help ensure a dependable, year-round source of funding to advance childhood cancer research at Penn State College of Medicine as well as life-changing care and comprehensive support for eligible children at Penn State Health Golisano Children’s Hospital.

"Every day, children and families are navigating the life-altering challenges of a childhood cancer diagnosis. While the physical and emotional impact for the child is profound, that diagnosis creates a wave of financial, emotional and spiritual effects for the entire family. They need unwavering support every step of the way," said Suzanne Graney, executive director for Four Diamonds. "Four Diamonds Champions gives our community a powerful opportunity to make a lasting impact through consistent monthly giving that fuels hope, healing and progress all year long.

A monthly gift can provide the following:

One hour of psychological counseling, helping Four Diamonds children and families build resilience and navigate the challenges of childhood cancer, through a donation of $10 per month
One day of support from a dedicated chaplain, offering spiritual care, comfort, and guidance to Four Diamonds children and families throughout their cancer journey, through a donation of $25 per month
One day of music therapy, helping children find comfort, expression and joy during treatment through a donation of $50 per month
One hour of life-saving pediatric cancer research, advancing breakthroughs that improve outcomes for children with cancer everywhere, through a donation of $125 per month.

The program is intentionally accessible, with giving levels starting at just $10 per month, making it possible for more individuals and families to make a meaningful difference. The initiative also provides a pathway for existing supporters to deepen their commitment and create an ongoing impact throughout the year.

Four Diamonds Champions will

Receive quarterly impact updates highlighting the difference their support is making.
Be eligible to receive a special welcome or recognition gift after establishing recurring support.
Join a dedicated community of supporters committed to ensuring children and families never face childhood cancer alone.

At its core, the Four Diamonds Champions program positions supporters as more than donors. Champions become a constant source of hope, healing and encouragement for children and families at every stage of the cancer journey, helping ensure they have the support they need today, tomorrow and always.
