We're thrilled to share a special collaboration between Strong Like AK Teen Leadership and Cancer Kids First - NC! Thanks to a generous donation from Cancer Kids First - NC, founded by Astou Diouf, also a member of the Strong Like AK Teen Leadership Class, our Strong Like AK Teen Leaders have kickstarted fundraising efforts for the 23-24 Teen Leadership class.

They're working hard to raise funds for a gaming cart that will be gifted to the 11th floor at Levine Children's. Expected to arrive mid-March, this game cart will provide a much-needed outlet for kids receiving cancer care to unwind and have fun.

Gaming holds a special place in the hearts of many, including Adam, who found solace in gaming during his cancer battle. Now, through the end of May, you can support our teen leaders' efforts through various restaurant giveback events and game cart donations using the donate button below.

Giveback Dates:

📅 Thursday, March 21 - Chick-fil-A (Gastonia - Cox Rd. Location Only) Mobile Orders only 6 AM - 10 PM

📅 Saturday, April 27 - Panera Bread (Gastonia Location Only) 4 PM - 8 PM

📅 Saturday, May 11 - Chipotle (Gastonia Location Only) 4 PM - 8 PM

Together, let's empower our Teen Leaders and bring joy to children battling cancer through the power of gaming! 🎮💛
