Teen Connection - There are many teens who are experiencing cancer. Being a teen is very difficult and having cancer compounds that difficulty. Being able to speak and interact with other teens experiencing cancer can be helpful. The teen connection was formed at the teens request in July 2002. Teen Connection gets together once a month to do various activities which include trips to: Disneyland, Knott's Scary Farm, Gameworks, bowling alleys, and so much more! If you are teen ages 14-18 and have or have had cancer and you are registered with CCFSC, contact Teen Connection at savila@ccfsocal.org or call (909) 558-3419.
