About The Event
WHEN:
Sunday, September 12, 2021
9:30 am to 12:00 Noon
WHERE:
Bowlmor Lanes Scottsdale
7300 E Thomas Rd, Scottsdale, AZ 85251
PURPOSE:
Since becoming a 501(c)(3) 15 years ago, Christopher’s Cure Hardship Fund has raised over $450,000 and assisted more than 150 families. The Hardship Fund is used to help families focus on their critically ill child.
Christopher’s Cure is not for those families who qualify for public assistance or for those who earn enough money to make it through a difficult time without help. Rather, Christopher’s Cure is there for those families that fall between the cracks and risk losing their home, transportation, or critical utilities. $3,000 can help one family cover their entire household financial obligations for 1 month, $1,500 can cover their housing for a month, $500 their transportation, and even $100 can simply keep the lights on.
Our goal is about making a difference in the lives of these children and their families. We’ve received a record number of applications in 2020-2021 and we need your help as we never want to turn a family in need away or miss an opportunity to help a family because they didn’t know about Christopher’s Cure.

About the Christopher’s Cure Hardship Fund
OUR MISSION
To provide resources to families of critically ill children that will help meet fundamental financial needs, essential to the family’s well-being. These families typically do not qualify for any governmental assistance, nor do they have the financial means to handle the additional burdens brought on during a child’s critical illness.
Through dedicated partnerships with social service departments, affiliated with acute care facilities, the Christopher’s Cure Hardship Fund provides financial support to those families with demonstrated needs.
GOALS & OBJECTIVES
The Christopher’s Cure Hardship Fund is dedicated to:
- Allowing families to spend more quality time, sometimes the only time remaining with a critically ill child.
- Helping families meet basic financial obligations such as housing, utility bills, childcare and transportation needs.
- Helping families worry less about meeting financial obligations and focus on caring for the needs of their critically ill child.
WHY THE NEED?
Families of a critically ill child must cope with hospital stays, numerous (often emergent) doctor visits and medication/dosing schedules, visits to out-of-state facilities that are recognized as centers of excellence for certain diseases and spend a significant amount of time needed to appropriately care for a sick child. If a parent has to choose to quit work, while forsaking all other obligations to care for a critically ill child, most would. The Christopher’s Cure Hardship Fund aims to alleviate the burdens associated with that decision, allowing parents to focus on what is really important … caring for their sick child during the most challenging time of that child’s young life.
