Love Your Melon Day is coming up, which means we are gearing up for Giving Events all across the country. In celebration of Love Your Melon Day, we want to introduce you to the SuperCrew!

The SuperCrew characters are the heroes behind the brightly colored capes and hats that we bring to hospitals around the country.  By creating characters and a story, we designed a light-hearted and fun way to inspire and empower children in the midst of treatment.

In our children’s book, Adventures of the SuperCrew, these characters each utilize their strengths, or “superpowers,” to work together and overcome difficulties. Each character has a unique quality that may help children while they experience the difficulties of treatment, such as strength, positivity, security and healing.
