September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, and Tiff’s Treats is supporting its Corporate Charity Partner by donating $25,000 from sales of the Connor Man Brookie to fund research for pediatric brain cancer.
Connor Olympia was diagnosed with a rare form of pediatric brain cancer known as DIPG at four years old. Despite his condition, Connor’s spirit and bravery inspired those around him. His parents, Alexis and Peter Olympia, became advocates for DIPG awareness and research following his diagnosis.
The Olympia family established The Connor Man Foundation in honor of their son. This foundation supports groundbreaking research and aims to improve treatments for DIPG as a family partner of the ChadTough Defeat DIPG Foundation. The foundation's efforts continue to inspire support for advancements in DIPG research.
Through this collaboration, families are dedicated to advancing research for DIPG. Alexis and Peter Olympia started Connor Man in memory of their son to honor his battle with DIPG. “The Amazing Connor Man showed us the meaning of unconditional love, and he will always and forever be our hero and our inspiration,” stated the Olympia Family.
In Connor’s honor, Tiff’s Treats created a special treat called the “Brookie,” combining sugar cookies with M&M's®, brownies, and M&M's® sprinkled on top. Available throughout September, $25,000 from sales will be donated to fund pediatric brain cancer research.
Tiff’s Treats® is proud to contribute through various give-back initiatives honoring Connor’s memory. By uniting under a shared purpose—advancing research, enhancing treatments, and finding a cure for DIPG—the company invites everyone to join this vital mission.
The Foundation outlines several ways individuals can support its mission:
1. Fundraising Events: Participate or organize events like charity runs or benefit dinners.
2. Volunteer Opportunities: Assist with event planning or administrative tasks.
3. Advocacy and Awareness: Spread the word about DIPG through social media or community talks.
4. Corporate Partnerships: Businesses can collaborate through sponsorships or corporate giving programs.
Participation in these activities helps advance research and improve treatments for pediatric brain cancer, contributing meaningfully to combatting this devastating disease.
