Wednesday's Child

All children deserve a home -- a family to call their own. Unfortunately, more than 6,000 kids in Oregon are currently in foster care. Wednesday's Child Foundation Inc. was created to aid with support services, activities and equipment to enrich the lives of these children and many more who are in need.

To learn about each week's featured child, watch KOIN News 6 every Wednesday at 6 p.m.

Children's Cancer Association

The Children’s Cancer Association (CCA) is a 501 (c)(3) nonprofit organization that was established in loving memory of five-year-old Alexandra Ellis who courageously fought cancer for two and half years before she died on May 7, 1995. In the year of Alexandra’s death, CCA was born. Since then, CCA has worked to offer award-winning programs, along with information, advocacy and support that help enrich the quality of life for seriously ill children and their families.
