The 30th birthday is one of the most welcomed and exciting milestones in a person’s life. If you are turning this age, what could be the perfect birthday gift for yourself? There are many choices for sure: getting that designer bag you have always wanted, spending a leisure vacation to some place far from home, or finally buying a car and exploring the city as a tourist.
In the case of Czye, it was throwing out a birthday party with Cancer Warriors Foundation, Inc. kids and their families. By sharing smiles and blessings with other people and making them feel happy and special, it was truly a 30th birthday well spent. π
How I Learned About Cancer Warriors Foundation Inc.
The blogosphere is abuzz with so many campaigns and awareness programs by various foundations and groups, but not everyone is a supporter. Three months ago, I saw a video posted by Vikings Luxury Buffet on YouTube for Father’s Day. It was about how parents and children who are members of the Cancer Warriors Foundation Inc. share their love and support for one another even through the most difficult times.
These families must be very strong and brave indeed as they all fight against cancer. Their voices mesh together to make a louder and stronger heard sound wave on positivity.
Here’s the video. Please watch.
By the end of the clip, I found myself tearing up. Their messages were so inspiring, and because of that, I just felt determined to reach out to Cancer Warriors Foundation Inc. to inquire on ways I could contribute. Covering events and blogging about them to help spread awareness is one. In addition, I can also help by improving their website design.

What an amazing way to celebrate life! I think sharing your birthday was such an awesome gift not only to yourself but to them as well. It seems like the Cancer Warrios is a truly awesome foundation to help kids and their families get through a difficult battle in their lives.
I think it’s also a form of inspiring others to become more positive about life. Life does not end when you have cancer. Celebrating a birthday with the kids is an awesome treat.
What a wonderful way to support kids going through cancer treatment! The name “Cancer Warriors” is perfect :-). I love the whole idea behind it, and I think it’s amazing that you’re using your blog to get the word out.
Thanks, Megan. I like their name, too. It voices out a simple but meaningful message about themselves. Fighting against cancer is really a battle that consists of both physical and psychological tests. I applaud the kids for being strong and also their parents for all the support.
The Cancer Warriors Foundation, Inc. sounds like a great foundation. What an awesome way to celebrate a birthday. We did something like this in the past, but not with cancer patients. My daughter celebrated her birthday in an orphanage and instead of receiving gifts from her guests, we requested them to donate clothes, food and toys for the children.
Wow, that sounds great. Helping others reaps fulfillment and happiness as you are able to give back to the society and show to others who need it most. π
What an amazing way to celebrate a birthday. Maybe I will copy Cyze’s idea for my next birthday. I did not know about this organization and I think it is pretty cool what they are doing. Will share with friends so they can donate as well.
Thanks, Monica. π I thought it’s really a kind gesture to extend any help to make other people smile. Cyze showed a great example of how is it to be like a sister to the kids that day.
I think birthday’s are great but it’s even better when you can give back and do for others. It makes birthdays that much more exciting when you can give your time to great causes.
Right. When I think about what I really want in life, material things are just things. Our actions and emotions mean so much more. I hope to be able to make more time and live a passion to get involved in social community service.
What a great way to celebrate turning 30!! I have not heard of Cancer Warriors before! This sounds like a great organization to help kids with cancer like this, I wonder if they have a similar program in the US.
I’m sure there’s also a foundation in the US that strives for a similar cause. Ultimately, we want to end all hardships and celebrate life in all its glory. I just hope that Cancer Warriors Foundation will get more support from concerned groups and individuals.
This is a nice way of giving back. Spending time with and making these kids feel extra special is something very rewarding.
Yup, it’s actually also a way of realizing your blessings in spite of everything. By sharing your time and stories with cancer survivors, they feel appreciated and special. π
this is such a great way to celebrate a birthday party! There’s no better feeling than giving away your time for an advocacy you believe in. I’m sure these kids were quite happy indeed!
Yes, everyone including the adults had a great time. They also played party games and enjoyed the presence of the Jollibee mascot that danced in front. π
This is such a great way to spend your birthday, touching and meaningful as well. We usually celebrate it with the less fortunate children or foundations but perhaps a foundation such as this could be something I should look into. Thank you for sharing.
You’re welcome! It’s a different way of celebrating a birthday. Oftentimes, people are caught up with throwing out a birthday party for themselves. This time, it’s to enjoy the day by making others happy.
God bless Cyze for having such a big heart! Always so warming when someone shows love and support to those who need it the most.
Right. It’s always a pleasant feeling to see that there are still kind people living in the world. π
Awww what a great to celebrate birthday. This is such a humbling post. I’ve thought about doing something like this for my birthday at least once! I’m sure it will be meaningful.
Yup, anything that you do with all your heart for others will be meaningful. π
I applaud this worthy cause you helped as you celebrated your birthday. Cyze is your business, right? Or is that your nickname? Happy birthday!
Haha none of the above. Cyze was the birthday celebrant and I was there just to cover the event. π
I also haven’t heard of Cancer Warriors Foundation until today! I think what they do is so inspiring and touching!! So amazing to see such brave kids being celebrated π
You’re not the only one who hasn’t heard of them. This is why I think there must be a big effort to let their group be known more. What they’re doing for the benefit of many kids who have cancer is truly kind and remarkable.
What a great way to celebrate a birthday. This is very nice. You have not only shared your food to them but you shared a part of your life to the cancer patients. God bless you more.
Some of them are cancer survivors and it’s just a good feeling to be around them and be more positive about life.
I just watched a movie called, Go Away, Mr Tumor! and this reminded me of the show. I never knew about this foundation, so thanks for spreading the news and message, encouraging the kids who need help and encouragement.
You’re welcome. That must have been a really great movie, a touching and moving one.
this is very touching. cancer warriors is such an amazing foundation. I’m trying not to tear up at work haha
That’s okay to express your emotions if you will. I also tried my best to cover up my tears when I watched the video but gave in anyway. π
amazing way to celeb ur 30th bday are you an advocate or supporter or cancer patients??
Cyze celebrated her birthday with the kids and I was just there to cover the event. π
It wa so nice of you to join them Roch. I’m sure the celebration and your presence gave them a boost.
Yes. It makes a difference when you take time to get involved in such event. π
that’s indeed a very meaningful way to celebrate a birthday! i’m not looking forward to my own big 3 though….
Mine is four years away. I’m also not looking forward to it. Just enjoy one day at a time and find purpose in life by spreading blessings and happiness to others.
What a noble way to celebrate a birthday. Thumbs up to Cyze. Good to hear too that ‘good Samaritan’ like you joined the celebration.
I hope more people will get to know Cancer Warriors Foundation through this post. Thanks, Papa Leng. π
This is such a noble move and celebrations. I hope more organizations will create awareness and motivate all the cancer warriors in the world.
I hope so, too. It was my joy and pleasure to be part of this event. π
The video was really touching, anyone who would finish watching that would really want to do anything to help! Glad you found out how to π
Yup, I’m so glad I did. π
This is so wonderful to celebrate the special day with others and bringing smile on everyone face.
It’s a different kind of event that I attended. I’m pleased to share a portion of my time that day with them.
I like the name “Cancer Warriors” – a nice ring to it especially when it advocates the heroes that come out as they share their love and support for one another through the most challenging times battling the disease.
Yup. You can read more about its history by visiting their website. π
Hello there, I’m wondering who Cyze is because you didn’t mention it on your post. Anyway, It was really nice to celebrate your special day with organizations such as this.
Hi Yvonne. I don’t know Cyze personally. We just met in the event. π It was enough for me to learn about how she got in contact with the foundation.
Thank you for making the children smile. Because of every foundation, more children reach their full potential.
