Charity Golf Tournaments and Golf Tournament Planning

Our organization began in 2009 with an idea from an 8-year old boy living with leukemia who wanted to help other kids with cancer. His request was that every child with cancer at Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh should have a handheld gaming system. Genre (like Henry with a “G”) knew this was helpful in passing the many hours spent in chemotherapy and blood transfusions. We accomplished that goal in 2010 and have since been providing free gaming systems to 8-12 children each month who are newly diagnosed with cancer.

As Genre has moved along his journey through pediatric cancer, his ideas have continued to grow and have developed into the many services we provide today. Genre spent 67 days in the hospital in one year, in addition to weekly chemotherapy treatments administered at the pediatric oncology clinic. Other children victims to this devastating disease spend many more. Genre has maintained a positive outlook and wants to reach out to other children who have been diagnosed with cancer.

Genre’s Kids with cancer fund has established Project H.E.L.P. (Hands Encouraging, Loving, and Providing) which details the assistance we provide to families living with pediatric cancer. Many expenses associated with pediatric cancer are not medically derived. The burden on families can be devastating, and it is our deepest desire to help in any way we can.
