Action News

It's been a busy, ACTION-filled month!

Georgia and her gaggle joined us for a Back-to-School dinner with their families.

We started this when they were freshman, and now, here we are ...

 Georgia has been loving her time working with The Contemporary Austin's Teen Council - 

she even got her first paycheck!

Both Georgia and Ivy welcomed cousin Claire into the National

Junior Honor Society - these Moore girls are going to rule the world!

And between our Kendra Scott event, Georgia's latest Bald Georgia t-shirt run, and our shave at Fado Irish Pub, we raised over $3,000 for St. Baldrick's and childhood cancer research! Thank you to all of our donors, shavees, and volunteers - it was a great way to mark Childhood Cancer Awareness Month! So was this ...

In one month, she's applying to college.

September Action

While September is officially Childhood Caner Awareness Month, we like to think of it as ACTION Month. Last night, I hosted a Kendra Scott Give Back Event, and this weekend, we'll be back at Fado Irish Pub for another shave event! Our Little Free Library has gone gold:

And for the next two weeks, Bald Georgia shirts are back on sale! Click here to purchase yours!

In the meantime, we're still celebrating the incredible news that the FDA recently approved CAR T cell therapy for kids with ALL! We've been following this therapy for a while now, and the fact that it has been approved for kids before adults is practically unheard of - and very encouraging. Immunotherapy is a game-changer, and we'll be watching to see how these breakthroughs impact the future of cancer treatment.

We're ALSO celebrating the new grant funded by the Georgia and the Peachy Keens Hero Fund - meaning it was funded by all of YOU! For the next year, we'll be supporting the work of Dr. Naomi Winick, who is studying attention and working memory issues in survivors of ALL due to certain chemotherapy received during their treatment. It's so rewarding to see exactly what your donations can do, and we're excited to follow Dr. Winick's work - right up the road in Dallas.

Another thing your donations did this year is help bring St. Baldrick's overall total to $34 million raised so far for 2017! That's a lot of love and a lot of research funding, and the 46 Mommas were proud to share the news at our shave in Austin! Thank you, THANK YOU, Friends of Georgia - we couldn't do any of this without you!
