| When Sugar Land resident, Kevin Kline, morning radio personality for “The New 93Q” (KKBQ-FM, 92.9) entered the doors of Texas Children’s Cancer Center in December 2005, he had no idea that his life would change – forever.
It was his chance encounter with spirited, fun-loving, 15-year-old Chelsey Campbell from Dickinson, Texas, diagnosed with a rare type of cancer known as undifferentiated sarcoma that inspired Kline to create Snowdrop Foundation.
Why the name ‘snowdrop?’
“When I started reading about the snowdrop flower, I knew we had found the right symbol to represent the resilience of childhood cancer patients,” said Kline.
“Snowdrops are known to withstand the harshest of environments and still thrive, despite rain, snow and sleet. They are a fragile and innocent, yet able to withstand the toughest of circumstances. Snowdrops perfectly personify the kids I’ve met who are battling a diagnosis of cancer.”
The goal of the Snowdrop Foundation is to raise awareness and funds of this No. 1 non-accidental cause of death in children.
“We want those children who have been declared long-term survivors, to have a shot at pursuing their life-long dreams and ambitions. A diagnosis of cancer should not be an end – in many ways it’s the beginning of a wonderful journey,” said Dr. ZoAnn Dreyer, chief of the long-term survivor program at Texas Children’s Cancer Center and member of the Snowdrop Foundation Advisory Board.
Our MISSION: Snowdrop Foundation provides funding for continued pediatric cancer research at Texas Children’s Cancer Center and scholarships for college bound pediatric cancer patients and childhood cancer survivors.
