Dell Children's Blood Cancer Program
Planet Cancer, a young adult cancer network for patients, received $9,000 for a new program, The Austin Young Adult Network. This program will develop a network of peer support and a psychosocial safety net for young adults in our own backyard using monthly social networking opportunities in conjunction with an online listserv group. It will serve as a strong local network with both formal and informal avenues of support for young adults with cancer. Their annual fundraiser, The Flamingo Party is coming up this spring. YTAC - Austin will participate and put together a YTAC Team of Flockers!

We have also donated $1,000 to an Austin-based organization, Move Through Cancer. This is a volunteer non-profit group that provides support for cancer survivors and their families through exercise programming and wellness education before, during and after treatment.
