DaBella Unites with Children's Cancer Association to Support Ill Children
In a heartfelt move reflecting commitment to community engagement, DaBella, a family-owned home improvement company, has forged a significant partnership with the Children’s Cancer Association (CCA). This collaboration aims to spread joy and healing to children facing serious illnesses while enhancing DaBella's core values of Lead, Care, and Grow.
The partnership kicked off with a generous donation of $25,000 from DaBella to support CCA's inspiring mission. CCA focuses on providing uplifting experiences for seriously ill children through their innovative JoyRx programs, which include JoyRx Music, JoyRx Mentorship, and JoyRx Nature. These initiatives are designed to empower children to express themselves and form meaningful connections, even during their toughest days.
Founded in 1995, CCA emerged after the tragic loss of Alexandra Ellis, who passed away from cancer at just five years old. The nonprofit has since blossomed into a nationally recognized organization, providing (free of charge) programs that have a powerful impact on the lives of children and families across the United States. In the previous fiscal year, CCA served 42,961 children and teens, marking a remarkable 17% increase from the previous year.
With JoyRx Music, trained musicians visit children undergoing treatment, creating personalized music experiences that meet them where they are, both emotionally and physically. The JoyRx Mentorship program, unique in its approach, pairs seriously ill children with adult volunteers. These mentors not only provide companionship but also foster a sense of belonging, something that resonates deeply in the lives of the participants. Furthermore, the JoyRx Nature program connects children with the healing aspects of nature, offering a restorative escape.
One touching anecdote shared by Monica, a JoyRx Music Specialist, describes her experience of meeting seven-year-old Miles, playing music on what turned out to be his last day in the hospital. The joy this brought to him and his family illustrates the profound emotional impact of CCA's work.
The power of CCA's outreach can also be seen through the perspectives of its mentors. Peter, a former JoyRx participant who became a mentor himself, reflects on the importance of small acts of joy and their potential to transform lives. "Helping children feel less alone during difficult times is what it’s all about," he notes, emphasizing the vital connection this program fosters.
Families touched by CCA share stories of how these partnerships create immediate and lasting bonds. Launa, for instance, speaks of the enduring bond formed between her daughter Hadley and her mentor, Sophia. "Sophia brings out a spark in Hadley, enabling her to relish her childhood despite the hardships,” she says, highlighting how these relationships extend far beyond simple hospital visits.
For DaBella, supporting organizations like CCA is an intrinsic part of its mission. Through its initiative, DaBella Cares, the company continues to prioritize community involvement, focusing particularly on initiatives that support cancer awareness, veterans, and families in need. Their alignment with CCA’s vision reflects a shared belief in the importance of family and ensuring children do not tackle their struggles in isolation.
Having operations across 28 states, DaBella is uniquely equipped to amplify the impact of its partnership with CCA as the nonprofit expands its outreach. Together, this alliance aims to provide more children with the emotional support and joy they deserve during their treatment journeys.
DaBella’s infectious commitment to the community mirrors the ethos of CCA, making this partnership a particularly harmonious and impactful collaboration. As CCA continues to spread its programs nationwide, DaBella stands proud, ready to support the journey of children and families facing unimaginable challenges, reinforcing the belief that joy can serve as a powerful medicine.
