Giving for Special Needs This Holiday Season

Charitable Organizations in Need of Special Gifts for Special Kids

By Suzy Feine

Pages:  1  2  3  

Founded in 1992 by Ranlyn Tilley Hill, her sister, Allison, and 10 of their friends, This Little Light supports the Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery Division at Children's Hospital Los Angeles in Los Angeles, Calif. Ranlyn and Allison's brother, "Baby Randy," spent his last days at Children's Hospital Los Angeles. Randy's stay at Children's Hospital Los Angeles inspired the group to begin This Little Light, and Randy's favorite song provided the name.

The Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery Division, headed by Dr. John Reinisch, funds the research, education and clinical efforts to support children in need of reconstructive surgery. Their mission is to provide the opportunity for children to live normal and healthy lives.

You may make a tax-deductible donation to This Little Light by mailing a check to This Little Light, In Support of Children's Hospital Los Angeles, 11693 San Vicente Blvd., #128, Los Angeles, CA 90049-5124.

Children's Cancer Research Fund
For more than 20 years, Children's Cancer Research Fund has been fighting the battle of childhood cancer. This battle was lost by Katie Hageboeck, whose legacy of hope sparked the formation of Children's Cancer Research Fund in an effort to rid the world of childhood cancer. Katie inspired families who, in turn, have inspired others to volunteer, support and give to this worthy cause.

Children's Cancer Research Fund supports the University of Minnesota's Pediatric Hematology/Oncology, Blood and Marrow Transplant and Epidemiology programs. Their future vision is three-fold: Expand laboratory, clinical and population research activities; develop immune-based therapeutics for childhood cancer; and develop research relating to the treatment and biology of childhood brain tumors.
