LUBBOCK, Texas (KCBD) – The Lubbock Pediatric Cancer Association has partnered with Parry’s Pizzeria and Taphouse to raise funds during Childhood Cancer Awareness month.

The fundraiser will help fund childhood cancer research and support young cancer patients and their families.

On Sept. 7 from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m., people can purchase a meal at Parry’s and contribute to the cause. All orders that mention LPCA, from dine-in to take out, will have 20 percent of their bill donated to the organization.

The following statement was released:

Lubbock Pediatric Cancer Association is a community organization that promotes awareness of all types of childhood cancer and fundraises for childhood cancer research. We have been providing fundraising and support for pediatric cancer in Lubbock since 2012, when our first annual childhood cancer walk was initiated. Our organization is unique in that we bring together Covenant Children’s, UMC Children’s, and Texas Tech to serve the pediatric oncology population that is treated here in Lubbock. The population treated in Lubbock includes many underserved areas of West Texas, the Permian Basin, the Texas Panhandle, and Eastern New Mexico. LPCA sponsors an annual event for patients and their families to enjoy each September as they meet other families on similar journeys, honors those lost to childhood cancer, and offers scholarship opportunities to patients. Our efforts also benefit patients and families in a variety of ways, including providing fun activities, keeping up with schoolwork, supporting special celebrations, assisting in travel needs, establishing counseling, and providing peer support.
