Cancer - A worldwide problem

Cancer touches us all. Worldwide, it is estimated that there will be 15 million new cases of cancer every year by 2020. In 2007 there were 20,000 deaths per day from cancer. The lifetime probability for developing cancer is 50% for men and 33% for women. People are living longer, our population is growing, and the number of Americans diagnosed with cancer is projected to increase yearly as the baby boomers age. It is the leading cause of death in the United States for people under the age of 85. Cancer strikes all socioeconomic groups, all ethnic groups, and those who live in both urban and rural areas. According to the American Cancer Society, about 1.42 million new cancer cases were diagnosed in the US in 2007. At this moment, millions of people are living with cancer, coping with difficult treatments, and waiting for a cure; they are our family members, neighbors, friends - or even ourselves. When this catastrophic disease affects children, the concern becomes even greater. Support within our communities is an essential component in providing every child with the best possible care in a healing, compassionate environment.

In Oregon, we are fortunate in having a children's hospital which has been providing outstanding care for kids for many generations. Through generous donations, this facility is continuing to grow and now has the ability to make a family's hospital stay even more comfortable. With this in mind, the Soulful Giving Foundation has chosen to benefit the Randall Children's Hospital at Legacy Emanuel from proceeds generated through the purchase of Crater Lake sodas, event ticket sales and sponsor support of the Artful Giving Blanket Concert.
