Company Profile for Keaton Raphael Memorial

Supporting northern California children with cancer and their families, in advance of the 2016 “Big Day of Giving” and “Chipping Away at Childhood Cancer” Golf Tournament, Keaton Raphael Memorial (KRM) recognizes our generous contributors and invaluable volunteers. A 501c3 non-profit, KRM directly helps children with cancer and their families while also working to increase awareness and to fund research towards a cure.

Since January of 2015, KRM has received grants for this work from American River Bank Foundation, Kaiser Permanente, the City of Roseville, Latino Leadership Council, Safeway Foundation, Sierra Sacramento Valley Medical Society Alliance, Sutter Health, Teichert Foundation, Wells Fargo Foundation, Union Pacific Foundation, and the United Auburn Indian Community.

The child cancer charity was founded in 1998 in honor of 5-year-old Keaton Raphael and his courageous battle with Neuroblastoma. Today, KRM partners with Sacramento area hospitals to identify children and their families coping with cancer before reaching out with programming to foster hope, strength and healing. The charity provides assistance to over 500 children and families each year. Grants received this year recognize KRM’s success in adapting to serve a growing, diverse population of children and their families.

In support for KRM’s service to Latino/Hispanic families affected by childhood cancer, partner Kaiser Permanente offers the following statement: “During an already difficult time, these families may face additional barriers including language, insurance, immigration status, and other challenges. Beginning in 2011, Kaiser Permanente provided funding for the Family Navigator Program, which resulted in the addition of a bilingual/bi-cultural staff person. As a result of our continued partnership, 47% of the clients currently served by KRM are Latino/Hispanic. By providing specialized materials and outreach for Latino/Hispanic families with a child diagnosed with cancer, institutional barriers to care are reduced and families are able to focus on their child and family during this challenging time.”

Since its founding, KRM has raised more than $1.5 Million for pediatric cancer research in local hospitals and is a national leader in pediatric cancer and support. KRM is among the largest donors for the UC Davis Comprehensive Cancer Center. Learn more at www.childcancer.org where visitors can also find a listing of our generous corporate and event sponsors.
