Spring Into Support: Helping Our Armer Kids Thrive

Spring Into Support: Join the Armer Foundation in Making a Difference for Kids with Life-Altering Medical Conditions

Spring is a season of renewal, growth, and hope—a perfect time to come together and support a cause that brings light to families facing some of life’s toughest challenges. At the Armer Foundation for Kids, we’re launching our Spring Into Support Campaign to rally our community around children battling life-altering medical conditions in the Greater Phoenix area. This campaign is all about empowering families, easing their financial burdens, and reminding them that no one fights alone.

The Spring Into Support Campaign: What It’s All About:

This April, as the flowers bloom and the days grow brighter, we’re inviting you to Spring Into Support with us. Our campaign is designed to raise awareness and funds to directly support families in our community who are navigating the challenges of caring for a child with a life-altering medical condition. Here’s how we’re making an impact this spring:

Fundraising for Families: Every dollar raised during the Spring Into Support Campaign goes directly to families in need, helping them cover medical expenses that insurance often doesn’t touch. For example, families like Deyla’s—a 5-year-old diagnosed with neuroblastoma in 2023—rely on our support to afford the treatments and care their child needs to fight this aggressive cancer.
Community Events: We’re hosting a series of spring events to bring our community together. From blood drives to interactive workshops, these events are a chance to connect, have fun, and contribute to a meaningful cause. Stay tuned for our upcoming Spring Family Fun Day at a local park, where we’ll have games, music, and activities for all ages, with proceeds going to our Armer Kids.
Bags of Joy Initiative: Inspired by our Giving Tuesday efforts, we’re continuing our Bags of Joy program this spring. These bags, filled with toys, books, and comforting items, are delivered to children in the Pediatric Intensive Care and Oncology units at Banner Children’s Medical Center. For kids spending long days in the hospital, these small gestures can bring a big smile and a moment of joy.

Stories of Hope: Meet Our Armer Kids

The heart of our work lies in the children and families we support. Take Deyla, for instance. At just 5 years old, she was diagnosed with neuroblastoma after months of unexplained pain. Her family faced not only the emotional toll of her diagnosis but also the financial strain of her ongoing chemotherapy and hospital stays. Through the Armer Foundation, Deyla’s family received assistance with medical bills, allowing them to focus on her treatment and recovery. Today, Deyla is a fighter, and her family knows they have a community standing behind them.

Then there’s the story of Logan, a brave boy who battled Acute Myelogenous Leukemia (AML) for three years. The Armer Foundation supported Logan’s family by covering medical and travel expenses for a potential T-cell therapy in Los Angeles. Though Logan tragically passed away in 2021, his family remains grateful for the support they received during their most difficult moments. In his memory, we created Logan’s Healing Sounds Musical Therapy Memorial to bring the joy of music to children at Banner Cardon’s Children’s Hospital—a reminder of the lasting impact one child can have.
