Children’s Cancer Network in many ways. It has sponsored Run to Fight Children’s Cancer, bought back-to-school items for families struck by cancer, volunteered at the organization’s lunch and fashion show and assembled goodie bags for cancer survivors reentering school and their siblings. The Gilbert Northwestern Mutual office also hosted a Backyard Bash fundraising event for families and children the Children’s Cancer Network serves. Employees of Northwestern Mutual locally have even cleaned out Children’s Cancer Network’s warehouse. Morris is grateful the Arizona office of Northwestern Mutual was honored but even more thankful to help Children’s Cancer Network. “What a cool thing and being new to the board, it was just pretty cool that I was able to help deliver this check for $50,000,” he said. “I get to see firsthand how it works. What a cool opportunity when I learned about CCN (Children’s Cancer Network) because they were based in Chandler. At the time my office was in Chandler. It’s more of a passion of giving back.” Northwestern Mutual launched its Childhood Cancer Program in 2012 with the goal of finding cures and offering support to families and patients, as well as those struggling with the long-term impacts of treatment. The program has given more than $20 million to the cause, with the help of its employees and financial advisors around the country, and that has paid for more than 240,000 hours of research.

Northwestern Mutual’s Childhood Cancer Program also leverages nonprofit partners including Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation and Beads of Courage to offer patient, parent and sibling services to help families affected by cancer live their lives to the fullest.
The Arizona office of Northwestern Mutual won the award of $50,000 that it gave to Children’s Cancer Network after being chosen out of other Northwestern Mutual offices in the western region. It submitted a video to show the work it has done to support families affected by cancer
in order to be considered for the honor. “We’re just so thankful to Northwestern Mutual,” Luttrell said. “They take every opportunity to make a difference.” Information: childrenscancernetwork. org and northwesternmutual.com
