Callie Cares

Who We Are

Callie Cares is a nonprofit organization established by 9 year old Callie Cavanaugh and her family before she lost her battle with childhood cancer in April of 2018.
Family and friends of Callie Cares have already raised thousands of dollars to help families with a child with cancer by providing gift cards for food and gas, funding expansion efforts at the Philadelphia Ronald McDonald House, supporting a Make a Wish to a local child and giving toys to patients at The Janet Weis Children's Hospital Oncology floor. It is the family's vision to continue to raise money for years to come in Callie's honor and to keep her spirit of giving and kindness alive.

Yearly Funding/Need:

$5,000-Philadelphia Ronald McDonald House to support Callie’s Room that provides room and board for local families that need to stay in Philadelphia for specialized treatment at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia.

$2,500-Annual donation to Make A Wish to fund a local child’s dream.

$1,000-Christmas gifts for families unable to afford Christmas for their children due to hardships during cancer treatment for their child.

$1,000-Toys for children at Christmas time that are hospitalized at Geisinger.

$500-Callie Cares bags for preteens/teens filled with things to bring comfort and help pass time during long days of chemo.

$500-Gift cards for food and gas to help with weeks of travel during cancer treatment and many parents have to quit working due to frequent treatments and a very sick child at home.

$1000-Spare outfits for children that soil themselves during nauseating chemo treatments and need a change of clothing to go home in.

Your generosity will allow us to help others for years to come as Callie envisioned. 100% of our profits go to the children and families we support.
