American Childhood Cancer Organization of Arkansas

Gallery Of Hope

The American Childhood Cancer Organization of Arkansas is proud to announce its 2011 "Gallery of Hope" fundraiser that will take place on Friday, September 23, 2011 from 6:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m at The Arkansas Governor's Mansion in Little Rock. The 6th annual art auction and cocktail event will feature pieces from a number of well-known local artists, as well as creations by Arkansas Children's Hospital cancer patients. Other unique items available for purchase will include jewelry, pottery & photography. It will be an enjoyable night of music, delicious hors d'oeuvres and drinks while contributing to a great, worthwhile cause!

Each day in the U.S., approximately 46 children are diagnosed with cancer. In the early 1950s, less than 10 percent of childhood cancer patients could be cured. Today, some forms of childhood cancer have cure rates over 80%. Cancer is the leading cause of death in Americans under age 20. The average length of treatment for children, from initial diagnosis to cure or remission, is three years. The median age at diagnosis is six years old.

The childhood cancer experience can be an enormous challenge for families. ACCO believes that no family should have to go through this difficult time alone. American Childhood Cancer Organization of Arkansas is dedicated to improving the quality of life for children with cancer and their families. ACCO Arkansas is the only organization in Arkansas that is dedicated exclusively to meeting the unique needs of pediatric cancer patients and their families.
