Wouldn’t it feel great to know that your child helped a young suffering child with their kind act? This beautiful project is a way to encourage reading among our children starting at a young age while teaching them about charitable values.
You as a parent, grandparent, family member or friend, can help us instill the spirit of volunteerism and philanthropy in our children by sharing Pari’s story with the children in your life. We hope they'll be inspired by Pari, Shereen, and Tiara to help save a cancer stricken child’s life by giving them access to treatment.
As a token of our appreciation for saving a child's life when you send in your child's collected donations to ISCC we will present a Certificate of Appreciation to them in return.
If you are interested in participating in this project please share Pari's story with your children and inspire them by being their first sponsor.

Roxana, 7, was inspired by her sister Tiara and friend Shereen's to raise money for the ISCC so last Summer she contacted family and friends for support. By the end of the Summer she had read 750 pages and raised about $1000. She is very proud of her accomplishment and already talking about doing it again next Summer.
$1,000 provides one month of treatment for 7 children. Thank you Roxana.
Samantha, now a 2nd grader at Carden Conejo School, wanted to do something to help sick children while on her summer break. She decided to combine her love of reading with this desire. She sent out pledge sheets to family and friends at the beginning of the summer, asking them to sponsor her in a read-a-thon to benefit the International Society for Children with Cancer. She received many pledges and by the end of the summer, Samantha read 19 books and raised a total of $1,463.96 for ISCC!
$1,464 provides one month of treatment for 10 children. Thank you Samantha.
Inspired by Pari's idea, Shereen, an 11 year old 5th grader, and her 9 year old friend, Tiara in 3rd grade, who both live in the U.S. decided to also undertake the sponsorship read-a-thon during their summer vacation. By the end of the summer, the girls together read around 6000 pages and collected $2,000 for ISCC to help underprivileged children suffering from cancer. They were both very proud and excited to be able make a difference in their own way.
$2,000 provides one month of treatment for 13 children. Thank you Shereen and Tiara.

A few years ago Pari, a 16 year old young lady who lives in England, inspired by a visit to MAHAK hospital, decided to undertake a sponsorship read-a-thon. She sent a letter to her family and friends letting them know of her plans to read a number of books over the summer and asking them to sponsor her for a penny for every page she reads. By the end of summer, Pari had read 60 books and raised $4,600 for the children at MAHAK.
$4,600 provides one month of treatment for 30 children at MAHAK. Thank you Pari
