Why our Holiday Party is unique and treasured by the families

Kids Beating Cancer strives to create a day overflowing with laughter, warmth, and wonder—a magical escape from the hardships faced by children and families battling cancer. Our dream is to craft an atmosphere brimming with childlike joy and enchanting adventures. Through the excitement of magical characters and the heartfelt thrill of receiving their “biggest wish” from Santa, we hope to transform each child’s experience into a cherished memory. We imagine every child stepping out of their pain and into a fairy-tale world, where, for a precious moment, the magic of Christmas makes anything feel possible.

The Children’s Candle Lighting Ceremony

As the Christmas party draws to a close, each child and their siblings light a candle—a small flame to honor their courageous fight against cancer. Each flicker of light stands as a symbol of hope, a beacon shining bravely through even the darkest nights. KBC understands that after the laughter fades, the daily battle continues. That is why we are committed to walking alongside each family, offering the unwavering light of support, love, and encouragement throughout their journey.

The For the Love of John Bicycle Program

John’s final Christmas wish was a simple one: he longed for a bicycle. But as his condition worsened, some questioned whether granting such a wish made sense. What they didn’t see was what John knew in his heart—that the bicycle wasn’t just a gift; it was a symbol of hope, of dreams still within reach. When the bicycle never came, it felt as though hope itself had slipped away. Now, in John’s honor, we have made a promise: every child who wishes for a bicycle at Christmas will receive one, no matter their prognosis. Because every child deserves to believe in magic, to feel the thrill of a dream fulfilled, and to carry the light of hope in their heart, no matter how heavy the journey.

Bringing Joy, Laughter, and Hope to Children Fighting Cancer

This holiday season, you have the power to transform the lives of children and families facing the hardest battle of all. For children fighting cancer, the holidays can mean hospital stays, treatments, and uncertainty — but with your help, they can instead be filled with wonder, laughter, and memories to last a lifetime. By becoming a Holiday Magic Sponsor, you give these brave children and their families a precious gift — a day of joy, togetherness, and hope.

A day to forget the pain and remember the magic of being a child.

Nutcracker Land Sponsor – $15,000

Step into the most enchanting Land of all — where Nutcrackers come to life and Sugarplum Fairies dance alongside Clara, a dazzling musical moment. Your sponsorship creates this magical world, allowing children and families to experience the beauty of the Nutcracker story firsthand. To keep the magic alive long after the celebration, each child will take home their very own Nutcracker Storybook and Nutcracker Puzzle — a keepsake of a day filled with wonder and imagination.

Winter Wonderland Sponsor – $10,000

Make dreams come true with the magic of snow! Your sponsorship transforms the day into a real-life winter wonderland — where children can laugh and play in freshly fallen snow, sip warm cocoa from the Hot Cocoa Bar, and enjoy Frozen-inspired entertainment that brings beloved characters to life. Each child will take home a Musical Light-Up Snow Globe, a cherished reminder of the day they played in the snow and felt pure joy.

Gingerbread Land Sponsor – $7,500

Bring sweetness and creativity to life in our whimsical Gingerbread Castle! With your sponsorship, children can meet life-size Gingerbread friends, decorate their own gingerbread cookies, and craft their very own wooden Gingerbread House to take home and treasure. It’s a day of laughter, imagination, and the simple joy of creating something magical with their own hands.

For the Love of John Sponsor – $5,000

This sponsorship represents far more than the gift of a bicycle — it embodies hope, freedom, and the promise of healing. Inspired by John, whose love of life continues to guide our mission, each bicycle given to a child fighting cancer is a symbol of strength — a ride toward recovery, a moment of normalcy, and a dream of being healthy again. Your sponsorship allows Kids Beating Cancer to fulfill the wish of any child who requests a bicycle, regardless of prognosis — because every child deserves the joy of “riding toward a cure.” Each bike is not just a gift… it’s a statement of love, courage, and the belief that every child deserves to live, to laugh, and to ride free.

Christmas Hero Sponsor – $1,000

Become a Christmas Hero by giving a child with cancer and their family the gift of holiday joy. Your sponsorship makes it possible for one child and their family to attend the Kids Beating Cancer Holiday Party — a magical celebration filled with laughter, delicious lunch, sweet treats, favorite characters, and a special visit from Santa himself. Each sponsored child will receive three wished-for toys, along with gifts for their siblings, ensuring that every child in the family experiences the magic of Christmas. For families facing the challenges of cancer, this day is more than a celebration — it’s a moment of togetherness, love, and hope. Your gift reminds them they are not alone… and that heroes really do make Christmas miracles happen.

Santa’s Elf Sponsor – $500

You can make Christmas dreams come true for a child with cancer by helping Santa’s Elves deliver the magic of wished-for toys and unforgettable holiday joy. Your sponsorship gives one special child the chance to attend the Kids Beating Cancer Holiday Party — a heartwarming celebration filled with wonder and laughter. Their magical journey begins as they travel through the Winter Wonderland Forest, delight in the sweetness of Candy Cane Land, visit the cheerful Gingerbread House to decorate cookies, and twirl with excitement through Nutcracker Land — all leading to Santa himself at the North Pole. There, with hugs from Santa and twinkling eyes of joy, your sponsored child will enjoy a delicious lunch, festive treats, playful entertainment, and receive a special Santa’s Bag filled with three wished-for toys. As a Santa’s Elf Sponsor, you help bring pure joy, laughter, and the true magic of Christmas to one very special child — a moment they’ll cherish forever.

Santa’s Magic Sponsor – $100

Bring the magic of Christmas to a child who can’t leave the hospital this holiday season. Your sponsorship helps Santa deliver gifts directly to children’s hospital rooms, filling their day with joy, comfort, and hope when they need it most. For many of these children, this visit from Santa is more than a gift — it’s a reminder that they are loved, remembered, and never alone in their fight. With your $100 sponsorship, you’ll help make a child’s hospital room glow a little brighter with the warmth and wonder of Christmas magic. Because even in the hospital, every child deserves to believe in Christmas
