About Us

Cancer, Kids, and Christmas was founded in 2012 by its founder Travis Sparks after his own battle with cancer and seeing firsthand the strain it put on his own family. He saw that without the help of family and friends his family may have felt the financial strains to the point of bankruptcy. That would have meant certainly there would have been no Christmas that year. 

We do provide our cancer families with the majority of all monies raised through our events, with zero dollars going to administrative fees. As we have grown over the years we have gained a few expenses, but we try to keep them as minimal as possible. We do lease a room that we use to store all of our donations for the events and a meeting room from time to time. We have purchased insurance that covers us at any event we do with a $1,000,000.00 in coverage. We are looking to purchased a few items, that help us make better events (in Narrows and Pearisburg) from year to year and these investments will save us money over a period time. 

To give a little back ground on what we have accomplished over our years of fundraising, we have raised $166,290.00 and we have provided 60 families with a Christmas that cancer would have stolen away from them. The checks have ranged from $750 for one family in 2012, to a huge number of 15 checks in the amount of $2900.00 handed out to each of our 15 area cancer families, we also donated $1000.00 checks to 7 families, and we provided 1 family with money to help build a Handicap ramp in 2018. We have grown from one event in 2012 to multiple events throughout the year.
