Kendra Scott x The Carson Leslie Foundation




Come into Kendra Scott and shop to support cancer research tonight until 8 p.m. In the West Village! 20% of profits will go to benefit the Carson Leslie Foundation. Funds raised will go to research for finding a cure to pediatric cancer.




Some stats about pediatric cancer:

- 13,500 children diagnosed annually in the U.S, with an average of 36 children being diagnosed every day.

- 1 in 330 Americans develop cancer before their twentieth birthday, and ends their life at an average age of 8

- cancer is the #1 killer of children and claims the lives of more victims than asthma, AIDs, cystic fibrosis, diabetes, and congenital anomalies COMBINED.





Carson's journal about his fight for his life was published 6 days before his death and all proceeds from his book, Carry Me, are donated to finding a cure.


"Momma, I thought I was gonna make it. Don't let them bury me. Make sure they study those tumors. If those tumors can help some kid not die from cancer like I am, I'd like that; it's hard to have cancer. Make sure my book gets published."
