This dedicated group provides emotional and financial suppot to families who's child has been diagnosed with cancer and have entered the chemotherapy departments of Children's and Fred Hutchison Hospitals of Seattle and Madigan Hospital of Tacoma. The children may be from the Seattle area or from out of town. Our "Hugs" is a caring introduction to our Community.
