SAN RAFAEL, Calif., Sept. 3, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- In honor of Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, Vionic is pleased to support St. Jude Children's Research Hospital® and the Pediatric Neuro-Oncology Consortium Foundation (PNOC), established by Vionic co-founder Bruce Campbell and his wife Allyn. During the month of September, Vionic will offer consumers the opportunity to make donations, with
A diagnosis of childhood cancer is devastating for all members of a family. Brain cancer, now the leading childhood cancer, remains vastly underfunded. Research dollars are critical to treating this disease and finding a cure. The promising news is that outcomes are improving, however, there's much progress to be made. Cancer does not stop and neither will we. Generous donations from Vionic customers is vital to support ongoing research and treatment.
During the month of September, Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, Vionic customers will be given the opportunity to make a positive impact in the fight against childhood cancer and other life-threatening diseases. The company's e-commerce site, www.vionicshoes.com, will feature donation options at checkout for those who wish to contribute to the cause.
PNOC Foundation was established by Vionic co-founder Bruce Campbell and his wife Allyn, to raise much-needed funds for childhood cancer research, after their son George was diagnosed with a brain tumor. Ten years after his diagnosis, the family cherishes their time together and pledges to make a difference in the lives of other children and their families affected by brain tumors by raising awareness and funds for research and clinical trials.
As one of the nearly two dozen corporate partners supporting St. Jude during Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, Vionic is proud to sponsor St. Jude's Childhood Cancer Awareness Month. Jennifer Aniston, Marlo Thomas, Sofia Vergara, Drew Barrymore and other St. Jude Celebrity Ambassadors will unite for the 30 Days #forStJude social media campaign to help raise awareness and support for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital®.

George underwent 10 hours of surgery and 31 sessions of subsequent radiation therapy. Ten years after his diagnosis, George and his family cherish their time together and fully enjoy the opportunities life has given them.
