Pennies4Penny, Inc. is a Non-Profit Charitable Organization that benefits Children who are stricken with Neuroblastoma. We provide financial assistance in various forms to families that have a child currently in treatment. Some families need assistance with travel and lodging, others for time off work and, of course for medical expenses. Founded in 2010 by the Buttress Family after their daughter, Penelope, was diagnosed with Stage IV Neuroblastoma, Pennies4Penny’s goal is to provide the assistance so terribly needed at an extremely difficult time.
Neuroblastoma is a devastating form of cancer. Although it’s the most common form of cancer diagnosed in children less than 1 year old, it only accounts for 7% of all cancers in children. In addition, in two thirds of the cases the cancer has already metastasized and spread throughout the child’s body, making it much more difficult to combat. Providing resources to families dealing with this type of ailment is imperative, and with the assistance of our friends, family, supporters and sponsors we hope to provide a little relief.
