-John F. Kennedy
My name is Teagan Stedman and I started Shred Kids' Cancer three years ago. My friend Alex, now 16, is doing just great now having ended all of his Chemo treatments. Unfortunately there are a lot of other kids out there who are still fighting for their lives and we want to help them.
Shred Kids' Cancer is a charity that lets kids try and do something for these other kids who are suffering. Its a way to make the kids who have cancer know that we are here for them and show them we care and give them strength.
Our main event is a fundraiser we call "Shredfest" where kids battle cancer with a battle of the bands. We have corporate sponsors, celebrity judges, a silent auction and lots of kids participating to raise money for the cure. We also have other events such as Shredfeast (diners visit a restaurant to eat and proceeds go to the cure) and Shredcamp (a bootcamp exercise class benefiting pediatric cancer research) and we have been lucky to have others present fundraising concerts benefiting Shred Kids Cancer including one in England. We also have original Shred Kids' Cancer items created like a children's book and jewelry with proceeds going to Shred Kids Cancer and are working on a Bone Marrow Drive with DKMS.
If you are holding an event and want to turn it into a charity benefit, please contact us and we can make it happen!Some amazing people heard about us all the way in England and thanks to Stewart Anderson organized Summerfest to benefit Shred Kids' Cancer. Dave Krusen and Shadow Rewind did a great deed by doing the same with the help of Deyermond Books + Art. Ask us how you can turn your event or party into a fundraiser for Shred Kids' Cancer.
We are proud to announce are an official 501c3 public charity and our Federal ID # is 27-3541000. We hope to increase awareness and attract more sponsors, donations, volunteers and participants as a leading kids non-profit organization!
