To Our New Friend,

We want to introduce ourselves. Our names are Pammy and Scott Kramer. We are the co-founders of an organization with a long but meaningful name:

Dancing While Cancering
The Maddie Kramer Foundation

Inspired by our daughter, Maddie, who bravely battled cancer as a toddler, our mission is to bring joy to the inpatient hospital experience for children with cancer. This gift represents our hope for you to create moments of happiness during your hospital stays. Our family knows all too well the challenges that come with cancer, but we also know the power of embracing even the smallest opportunities for a smile. For Maddie, that meant making the most of her days of strength. Whether playing in the playroom, or transforming her hospital room floor into a dance floor, Maddie reminded all of us that although we can’t always choose the music that life plays for us, we can choose how we dance to it.

To learn more about our organization, or if you ever have any other suggestions for ways to bring joy to the hospital experience, please visit our website at dancingwhilecancering.org. In the meantime, from the bottom of our Maddie-filled hearts, we wish you as many opportunities for a smile as your circumstances will permit.

With love,
Pammy and Scott Kramer
Co-Founders
