TutorZ Donates to Childhood Cancer Research

Port Hueneme, California, April 22nd, 2014 – TutorZ.com, a leading nationwide tutoring service, today announced a donation of an undisclosed monetary amount to the St. Baldrick’s Childhood Cancer Foundation.

Childhood cancer is a serious and largely overlooked decease. More children are lost to cancer in the U.S. than any other disease—in fact, more than many other childhood diseases combined. If born today, about 1 in 300 boys and 1 in 333 girls will have cancer. Because these facts are shocking TutorZ wants to make a difference by supporting the St. Baldrick’s foundation and pave a better future for our children.

“We are thrilled to be able to make this donation,” stated Dirk Wagner ? owner of TutorZ LLC ? as he presented the check to the St. Baldrick’s Foundation. “Thank you for your generous donation” said Gaffin, childhood cancer survivor herself, and recalled how representatives from St. Baldrick’s were by her side during her battle when she was going through her treatment. It was a heartwarming moment to see Gaffin’s reaction when the check was presented.

Through our donation, we express in just another way our deep care of the future of our children.  This gesture also expresses holistic approach to tutoring: mind – body – soul.
