Example Exhibitors

We are excited to have dozens of exhibitors at Facing Cancer Together. Below are just a few:

The Road to Recovery program offers free rides to cancer treatments, the Hope Lodge offers free places to stay when treatment is far away, and the Cancer Helpline offers cancer information, advice, and hope 24/7 at 1-800-227-2345 or visit www.cancer.org.

2 Miles of Smiles is a nonprofit organization created to empower cancer patients and survivors with a skydiving experience. We offer those living with cancer this extraordinary opportunity that brings them courage and confidence by funding a tandem skydive for them and a companion.

Little Hearts of Hope is a Christian based program dedicated to supporting children affected by a cancer diagnosis in their family. Each month, they mail activity packs directly to the hurting child to help them process their feelings and filter their emotions through the Word of God. These no cost monthly mailings provide much-needed hope during a difficult journey.

Since 2005, A Small Miracle Foundation has provided more than 1200 hours of ​free, in-home childcare to dozens of families who have someone battling cancer.

​Partnering with the best nanny agencies in North Texas, we ensure that our families receive professional, loving and reliable childcare.
