DC Strong provides support and relief for children battling cancer in many ways. Whether we are taking a young warrior out for a day filled with fun activities or surprising them with a care package full of gifts, you can be sure that each child DC Strong reaches out to is given a reason to smile no matter the circumstance.

DC Strong does host multiple semi annual fundraising events but the best way to keep the organization going is with support and donations. By donating today, you're helping a child smile tomorrow.

warrior of the month
Reagan

Meet Reagan, an incredible little warrior who battled Ewing's Sarcoma. Reagan is full of energy and excitement to the point that whatever she wants to play you will blink and find yourself already playing.    She is so full of positivity and joy that her trials appear to be the last thing on her mind. We could all learn something beautiful about perspective from this brave warrior. For he care package Reagan was gifted tickets to see the Counting Crows along with some art supplies and a new controller for her Xbox.  Welcome to the DC Strong Family Reagan!
