PINKY SWEAR MISSION Helping kids with cancer and their families with financial and emotional support. Start your presentation by telling everyone Pinky Swear’s mission.

PINKY SWEAR STORY Mitch Chepokas was diagnosed with bone cancer when he was only nine years old. Even though he was fighting for his life, Mitch realized how fortunate he was. Now that they know what Pinky Swear’s mission is, you can tell them how Pinky Swear started – with a promise between Mitch and his dad Steve.

PINKY SWEAR STORY Mitch’s family was always with him at the hospital, but other kids were alone. Since Mitch’s family and friends lived nearby, his room was always filled with visitors and presents. But Mitch knew this wasn’t the case for most kids.

PINKY SWEAR STORY When a child is diagnosed with cancer, it turns a family’s world upside down. In addition to the nightmare of having a child with cancer, parents need to keep their jobs, pay their bills, and try to make life as normal as possible for the rest of their children. Oftentimes, treatment centers are far away and families can be torn apart for weeks at a time while their child is in the hospital.

PINKY SWEAR STORY When Mitch was in the hospital in December, he overheard the family next to him telling their kids that there would not be enough money for Christmas that year. This broke Mitch’s heart. Mitch knew how lucky he was and wanted to pay it forward by helping this family.

PINKY SWEAR STORY So after finishing chemotherapy, Mitch’s dad, Steve, helped Mitch into his wheelchair and took him to the bank. Mitch withdrew all the money he had in his savings account - $6,000!

PINKY SWEAR STORY Mitch put the money in envelopes for the kids on the pediatric oncology floor at the hospital and he signed each envelope, “Love, Mitch.” Steve and Mitch returned to the hospital and delivered the envelopes by putting them on nightstands, under doors, and on beds.

PINKY SWEAR STORY As they were leaving the last room Mitch exclaimed to his dad, “Dad, that is the most fun I have ever had! Let’s do it again next year!” Steve sadly replied, “Buddy, you’re probably not going to be here next year.”

PINKY SWEAR STORY So Mitch said, “Dad, pinky swear promise me you will keep helping kids with cancer after I’m gone.” Steve and Mitch make a Pinky Swear Promise that day that Steve would keep helping these families as long as he lived. Mitch passed away on April 11 the following spring. His dad started the Pinky Swear Foundation in his memory and I am helping him keep that Pinky Swear!

CHILDHOOD CANCER FACTS A child is diagnosed with cancer every 45 minutes Childhood cancer has risen 29% in last 20 years Average age of diagnosis: 6 years old Average family spends 25% of disposable income on non-medical related expenses One in 11 families with a child with cancer files for bankruptcy These facts about childhood cancer help people understand why we need their support. There are a lot of families that need our help!

MEET THE ALL-STARS All-Stars are children fighting cancer. Now is a perfect time to tell the audience about your All-Star and show them an All-Star card. It’s nice for people to see the faces of the kids they can help.

HOW PINKY SWEAR HELPS Orange Envelope Envelope Program It can be hard to know where to turn first when your child is diagnosed with cancer. Pinky Swear is here with a “virtual hug” inspired by the original Pinky Swear promise delivered right to a family’s mailbox. Envelope Program Pinky Swear Foundation is committed to easing the financial impact of cancer through mortgage, rent, utility, food, transportation and other financial grant payments. All-Star Weekends In partnership with Hilton Airport in Bloomington, MN, All-Star Weekends provide a break for a family to be together, take a hiatus from the hospital as well as the daily stress and worry that go along with having a child with cancer. This is a summary of how Pinky Swear Foundation programs help our All-Star families. Pinky Swear Pantry Our on-site hospital food pantry makes it easy for families to stay near their sick child and eases the financial cost of food for day and extended-stay treatments.
