We are thrilled to share with you the incredible experience we had at Parker Project’s very first annual carwash fundraiser! It was a day filled with laughter, hard work, and an overwhelming sense of community support. Held in the gracious parking lot of the Scottsdale United Methodist Church, the event brought together a group of around 10 amazing volunteers who showed up ready to make a difference.

On a sunny February 4th, 2024, in the vibrant city of Phoenix, AZ, an event unfolded that was as heartwarming as it was intellectually stimulating.

The world of childhood cancer is a sobering reality that affects families worldwide. To truly understand its impact, it is important to understand cancer itself. Our body comprises various cells, each playing a unique role within our tissues and organs. However, when these cells transform and start to grow uncontrollably and spread to foreign areas of the body, this is when alarm bells ring. These abnormal cells can then invade and destroy healthy organs and tissues, leading to serious health problems.
