Congratulations are in order for Rally Advisory Board Member B.B. Abbott, who recently summited Mt. Kilimanjaro in order to raise awareness and funds for childhood cancer. To date, B.B. has raised just over $130,000 through his efforts! After a week-long climb, B.B. was greeted with 30 MPH winds and freezing temperatures of -20 degrees. The cold, however, couldn’t stop B.B. from smiling as he placed two flags at the summit, one for each organization that he fundraised for: Rally Foundation for...

“It was the worst day of my life,” Rally Kid Keren said of the day she was diagnosed with rhabdomyosarcoma, a cancerous tumor that occurs in soft tissue. And in the days, weeks, and months that followed, her journey with cancer wasn’t going to get any easier. It all started when Keren developed a growth on her foot. After numerous doctor visits, she finally received the news no child or family wants to hear: It was cancer. The following Monday after her diagnosis, she began the long journey of...

But what if those shopping trips could make a difference in the lives of others? What if your purchase could help raise funds for childhood cancer research? This past September, the southeast-based boutique Dress Up did exactly that.
