Our Story... On June 20, 1997, 5 year old Keaton Raphael was diagnosed with Neuroblastoma (cancer of the nervous system) and Keaton was tragically taken too soon by childhood cancer. He courageously fought for his life and earned his Angel's Wings. In memory, Keaton's parents created the Keaton Raphael Memorial and his legacy lives on in thousands of children & families. Our mission is to support children with cancer and their families with emotional, educational, and financial support while increasing awareness and funding a research toward a cure. Keaton Raphael Memorial’s Childhood Cancer Family Navigator Program provides families with information, resources and education necessary to navigate the complexities of their childhood cancer journey. A HOPE Chest filled with educational resources, financial assistance and gifts for all family members helps with the anxiety induced by a cancer diagnosis. If a child loses their fight, the family is given a handmade memory box with grieving resources. Despite great progress in research, cancer still kills more children ages 1 through 20 in the United States than any other disease – more than pediatric AIDS, asthma, juvenile diabetes, and cystic fibrosis combined. Keaton Raphael Memorial’s goal is to care for the family so that their attention can be focused on the child and help them connect to the resources they need to stay afloat financially and emotionally during this trying time. __________________________________________________________________________________2013 Executive Board of Directors Teresa Hofhenke
