My name is Grace Chen. I am an 8-year-old golfer, and I am starting a donation program to support childhood leukemia research to save other children’s lives. Leukemia is the most common childhood cancer, affecting more than 3,500 children in the U.S. every year. 250,000 children and adults worldwide are also diagnosed yearly with some form of leukemia. This represents about 2.5% of all people diagnosed with cancer.

In the major junior golf events I play (two world junior golf championships with details below), the Gracious Life Foundation (GLF) and I are reaching out to you for help. You can pledge three or more dollars for every birdie I score or a one-time donation of any amount. Anything you can do for my efforts would be greatly appreciated.

Birdie for ALL (Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia) Sponsored by Gracious Life Foundation

All donations will benefit Dr. Gary Dahl’s cutting-edge leukemia research at Stanford University’s Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital. Dr. Dahl is a world-renowned oncology expert and pediatrician in leukemia disease research and treatment in the Department of Hematology and Oncology.

All donations will go to Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital (LPCH)
In support of Dr. Gary Dahl’s pediatric leukemia research

The Ping and Amy Chao Family Foundation will match funds for any donations made to Birdie For ALL.

Grace’s scores for the following world championships will be posted online daily, so it is easy to follow her results:
