About the R.O.C.c.K. Children's Choir
The R.O.C.c.K. Children's Choir is sponsored by the A Way With Words Foundation , Inc. The R.O.C.c.K. part of the Choir's name represents the purpose of the choir: Raising Our Commitment to cancer Kids. The second letter "c" is not capitalized because we aim to make the painful effects of cancer small compared to what we can gain from the survival experiences we make and encounter along the way.

The Choir was created for children around the ages of 3 to 17 who were patients, survivors, relatives, or anyone who has been touched by cancer. Today the Choir continues its mission of expressing the voices of survival while learning new and exciting ways to cope.

The Choir will be doing new AwwwMazing things beginning Wednesday June 24, 2009 at the GRAND OPENING of the A Way With Words Foundation's "The AwwwMazing Place" store in the Southern Park Mall, Boardman, Ohio. Starting at 10:00 a.m., Armstrong Cable TV will film the R.O.C.c.K. Children's Choir singing and Choir members interviewing doctors. This will be one of several appearances by the Choir in the A Way With Words Foundation's new weekly, hour-long cable TV show that covers health and survivor topics in fun and creative ways.

I want to thank the R.O.C.c.K. Children's Choir for their exceptional performance at the Akron Children's Hospital Open House on December 7th.

While the Choir has always moved me, it was really special to me to see the effect the Choir had on my five-year-old daughter. You could see in her eyes that she knew the kids in the Choir were doing something
truly extraordinary.

Thanks to the R.O.C.c.K. Choir kids and the A Way With Words Foundation for all that you do to advocate for cancer children and give them hope and inspiration.

God Bless,
Krista White

Choir Performed at Victory Junction Gang Camp

The R.O.C.c.K. Children's Choir raised money through several projects so the Choir could perform for other children with cancer at the Victory Junction Gang Camp in North Carolina in June. Here are a few highlights of their journey to make the trip of caring to the Camp.

about the hot time they had!

May 31, 2008 was a BIG DAY for the R.O.C.c.K. Children's Choir and the A Way With Words Foundation, Inc. On the same day and at the same times, the Choir appeared with LIFE MAXX™ at the
Cleveland Zoo Walk in Cleveland, Ohio
while golfers who support them and the Foundation's goals took in the greens during the
Annual Charity Golf Scramble in Newton Falls, Ohio!
An almost hole-in-one winner, but the wind was too strong.

If you weren't there, then you missed hearing the choir sing and have good food for a cause at the March 15, 2008 Pancake and Sausage Breakfast in the Christ Community Church in Campbell, Ohio. The choir performed every hour on the hour to raise funds for the trip and to raise money for children with cancer. Chris Yambar and LIFEMAXX™ made a special appearance during the breakfast. The real flesh-and-blood super hero Life Maxx™ appeared in public FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME. Read more details in the event report.
