The Pay It Forward Award is in recognition of a Teddy Bear Cancer Foundation family or family member who has given back to the organization by paying-it-forward either during their child’s treatment or after they are out of treatment. This individual or family member, despite the hardships they are either currently facing or have faced in the past, have chosen to give back to Teddy Bear Cancer Foundation by providing support to other families, sharing their testimonials at fundraising events, hosting beneficiary events, or being advocates of the cause. The DeBrum family has given back in extraordinary ways after their daughter's cancer journey, from hosting charity golf tournaments to assisting our families with holiday gifts and gift cards, the DeBrums have shown demonstrated how families can move from Surviving to Thriving.
