As Katie’s Krusaders, our goal is to raise our community’s, and ultimately the nation’s, awareness of the incidence of cancer in children.  We want to raise funds to provide some financial as well as personal support for those children suffering with cancer or other childhood diseases, and their families, during this most difficult time.   And we want to do this in memory of our beloved Katie Ann Duffin, who gives witness to the struggle, the bravery, and the boundless love of these children.

Our Annual Bowlathon at Laurel Lanes in Maple Shade NJ
was a huge success! Thanks so much for all your support.

Devin Smeltzer Challenge

In 2006, Phillies second baseman Chase Utley met 9-year-old cancer patient Devin Smeltzer, who was receiving treatment at St. Christopher’s Hospital for Children.  Utley took time out from his pregame routine to sign Smeltzer’s hat.   Fast forward to 2018, Chase Utley is playing for the Dodgers when Devin, a cancer survivor,  began playing for the Dodgers minor league team.  Today Devin is a Minnesota Twins starting pitcher. He supports Katie’s Krusaders by attending our events, bringing in sponsors and auction items, and setting up unique events of his own.   Now, Devin has designed and is selling #CatchCancerLooking T-Shirts and sweatshirts, all proceeds going to Katie’s Krusaders to help the families of pediatric cancer patients with out-of-pocket expenses.

Our dream  became a reality  – A Ronald McDonald House at
St. Christopher’s Hospital,  Front and Erie Sts., Philadelphia, PA
