“Curing Childhood Cancer” Janie Sims Foundation
During the month of October, a portion of the sales from all Alabama products in participating grocery stores goes to benefit the Janie Sims Foundation for Curing Childhood Cancer. Begun by Dan Sims of Birmingham, AL, in honor of his daughter, Janie Sims, who passed away from cancer, the Janie Sims Foundation raises money which goes toward research to cure childhood cancer, as well as to aid needy families at the Children’s Hospital in Birmingham, Alabama. The Alabama Food Manufacturers and Producers sees its partnership with the Janie Sims Foundation for Curing Childhood Cancer, as an opportunity to benefit Alabama children through the sale of Alabama food products. Our group, in partnership with Alabama grocers, is proud to have raised over $60,000 for curing childhood cancer in 2007. It is “all about Alabama” and the difference we are making through the “power in our partnership.”
The Janie Sims Children’s Foundation is a non-profit organization dedicated to helping children with cancer and their families. Janie’s Foundation supports the groups, organizations and individual volunteers that provide aid, comfort, education and recreational experiences to these children and their families. The Janie Sims Children’s Foundation is committed to supporting and funding research toward a cure for pediatric cancer.
The Janie Sims Children’s Foundation is a 501 (C)(3) non-profit organization and donations are tax deductible. We rely on support through donations from individuals, groups, businesses and fundraisers.
About Making Miracles
Making Miracles was founded by the current Miss America 2005 Deidre Downs. In addition to providing volunteer services to pediatric cancer patients, in the fall of 2002 Deidre designed and proposed the new specialty license plate in the State of Alabama called “Curing Childhood Cancer”. The proceeds of this tag benefit pediatric cancer research at the UAB Division of Pediatric Hematology/Oncology at Children’s Hospital of Alabama. This tag has the potential to raise significant funds for childhood cancer research. Help support our efforts by reserving your copy of the Curing Childhood Cancer plate today!
