Each year Oriana & Catherine select a charity or family that is near and dear to their hearts to dedicate their event to!
This years fundraising efforts from the event will be in honor of 2 young warriors that have recently joined the Armcandy For A Cause family.
At just 2 years old, Rocco DiMaggio was diagnosed with neuroblastoma cancer, a diagnosis that would cripple any human being let alone a 2 year old. But just as his moniker "Rocco Strong" suggests, Rocco's strength and resilience is nothing short of a Super Hero. He beat cancers butt but 4 years later he is faced with a fight once again. Rocco is an incredible little boy who has already touched the lives of so many at such a young age and we know that he will overcome this obstacle in true Super Hero fashion!
Oriana has designed this Red Howlite with Spiderman Pendant armcandy to represent Rocco and his strength. Show your support for Rocco and his family with this beautiful armcandy
$25 of each bracelet sold will be donated directly to Rocco Strong Inc 501(c)3

Emilia Lun "Empowering Emi"
In February of 2023, a beautiful little girl, Emilia Lun (aka Emi) was diagnosed with Stage IV High Risk Neuroblastoma. Over the past year+ she has gone through grueling treatment such as chemotherapy, resection surgery, radiation, immunotherapy and most recently, more treatment for her relapse. Her mother who happens to have family from the same region in Sicily as Oriana, has made it her mission to fight not only for Emi but other children currently facing this awful disease. Although there is still a long road ahead, Emi recently received clear scans! However, with a day by day approach, the Lun family celebrates every victory against such a heart wrenching disease.
In honor of Emi, Oriana will be donating $25 from each bracelet to an organization the Band of Parents, a grassroots non-profit organization that finances innovative clinical trials for neuroblastoma. This organization has become an organization near and dear to Emi's family. With an increasing survival rate for this type of childhood cancer they are officially giving children like Emi a chance!
Thank you for joining us in this fight against childhood cancer! To donate directly visit: The Band of Parents
