Unleashed Brands Foundation Supports Pediatric Blood Cancer Research with $200,000 Donation

Unleashed Brands Foundation Donates $200,000 to Blood Cancer United

The Unleashed Brands Foundation has made headlines with its generous donation of $200,000 to Blood Cancer United, a commitment that aims to support pediatric blood cancer patients and their families. This contribution is part of the Dare to Dream Project which focuses on advancing pediatric cancer research and providing crucial resources for families navigating these challenging diagnoses.

Since its inception in 2023, the Unleashed Brands Foundation has partnered with Blood Cancer United to make a significant impact in the lives of children affected by blood cancer. This philanthropic partnership has been instrumental in connecting the organization with families facing the realities of pediatric blood cancer on a daily basis. Over the next five years, the Unleashed Brands Foundation has pledged a total of $1 million to this relief effort.

Jim Brewer, the Vice President of Children's Initiatives at Blood Cancer United, emphasized the importance of such contributions. ‘Generous contributions from partners like Unleashed Brands Foundation help accelerate pediatric cancer research and bring hope to children and families facing blood cancer,’ he stated. The support will help transform innovative ideas into real progress that can significantly change lives.

One poignant story linked to this initiative is that of Perry Oviedo, a young girl from Fort Worth who was diagnosed with b-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia shortly after her second birthday. After years of dedicated treatment, Perry recently marked the end of her cancer journey, ringing the bell that signifies her triumph over illness. To celebrate this milestone, the Unleashed Brands Foundation invited the Oviedo family to UBCON, the company’s annual conference, where they celebrated Perry's resilience in front of a supportive community of franchise owners and brand leaders.

Following the conference, Perry and her family enjoyed an all-expenses-paid VIP experience to the Magic Kingdom, thereby creating treasured memories that focus on joy and celebration rather than hardship. Michael Browning Jr., Founder and CEO of Unleashed Brands, expressed the belief that every child deserves the chance to overcome challenges. He added, ‘Perry’s journey is a powerful reminder of the resilience children and families show every single day in the fight against pediatric blood cancer.’

The Unleashed Brands Foundation aims to ensure that children like Perry, along with their families, have access to resources that allow them to find joy and engage in childhood activities, even in the face of serious health challenges.
