Delivering Gratitude to the Heroes at Inova Children’s Hospital
Last week, the Gold Rush Cure Operations team, alongside our incredible local volunteers Grace and Richard Fontana, had the joy of delivering coffee, bagels, and pastries to the inpatient and outpatient oncology teams at Inova Children’s Hospital. It was a small gesture, but one filled with immense gratitude for the tireless work these healthcare heroes do every single day.
As we served up morning treats, we also had the opportunity to connect with the hospital’s social workers—answering questions about the Pot of Gold program and sharing more about our mission to support pediatric cancer patients and their families. It was inspiring to see firsthand how these dedicated professionals keep the pediatric cancer community strong, even in the most challenging moments of treatment.
As part of our Every Day Hero campaign, we honor not only the brave cancer fighters, but also their families, friends, supporters, and the amazing medical teams who walk alongside them. We celebrate the oncology teams at Inova Children’s Hospital as true heroes—the kind who fuel hope, compassion, and resilience in every cup of coffee, every warm pastry, and every kind word, and we are happy to have been able to bring it to them for one day in the many they work tirelessly to care for our young heroes.
To everyone on the front lines of pediatric cancer care: thank you for your unwavering dedication. We are proud to stand with you and support you as you support the children and families who inspire us every day.
