Sen. Ross Tolleson

(R-Perry) hosted Kissing Childhood Cancer Goodbye on Monday to benefit the

Aflac Cancer Center at Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta. The event was a great

success; nearly doubling the initial

goal of $20,000. 

“I want to thank our sponsors, Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta and all the

other parties responsible for making this event such a success,” said Sen.

Tolleson. “It was a night devoted to the Aflac Cancer Center, a center which

provides intimate care and assistance to our precious children while also

mingling with colleagues.  The research, innovative treatment options, and

clinical care this center provides make me proud to lend a helping hand.”

The event was held at the 40 Watt Club in Athens and showcased singer Caylee

Anna as the headliner. Sen. Tolleson was joined by colleagues and

representatives of Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta to present the check for

$20,000 to the Aflac Cancer Center.

Recognized as one of the leading pediatric cancer, hematology and Blood and

Marrow Transplantation programs in the country, the Aflac Cancer Center is

committed to providing children and young adults with a brighter future through

advanced medical treatment, family-centered care, a child-friendly environment

and innovative research.
