We meet you where you are
Meeting the needs of our hero families is our number one goal. Find support through:
Connection
Kids can’t fight childhood cancer alone – and neither can their families. Connect with other families who have walked this path.
Caregiver Support Group
Caregiver Support Group
Connect quarterly with other families in various stages of their journey for an opportunity to be transparent, share the load, and encourage one another.
Hero Hangouts
Hero Hangouts
These outings are a space for heroes and their families to have fun! Enjoy a break from your day-to-day and make memories with others who are going through, or have gone through, childhood cancer. The hangouts happen at amusement parks, movie theaters, Texas Ranger games, and more!
Practical Help
As families who have been through treatment, we know it takes a toll in many different ways. From dinner deliveries to errands, we’ll be by your side.
Clinic Call-In
Clinic Call-In
We know the fight against childhood cancer can alter your family’s routine and last for years. When we can’t do anything to take your pain away, the least we can do is deliver dinner and remind you that we still see you.
Hospital Survival Kits
Hospital Survival Kits
From extension cords to touches of “home,” we’ll give you ways to make the hospital more comfortable and personal.
Children’s Hospital Toy Closet
Children’s Hospital Toy Closet
The Center for Cancer and Blood Disorders at Children’s Hospital Dallas collects toys for children receiving treatment. GNET holds a drive to fill their closets and bring joy to kids experiencing pediatric cancer.
Eric Kimmey & Olivia Nolley Memorial Scholarship
Eric Kimmey & Olivia Nolley Memorial Scholarship
Conquering cancer, achieving the incredible milestone of graduating high school, AND going to college deserves high honors. Gold Network offers financial support to all of our college-bound seniors each year. We are so proud of of our graduates!
Christmas Gift Cards
Christmas Gift Cards
The holiday season can be challenging for hero families. We provide gift cards for them to use as they wish during the Christmas season.
Awareness
We believe awareness is the first step toward communities better serving and supporting each other.
East Texas Gold Run
East Texas Gold Run
Whether you’re a serious runner or just looking for a family-friendly fun run, East Texas Gold Run raises awareness for childhood cancer while attendees enjoy activities. Held in Bergfeld Park each September, the Gold Run is our largest fundraising event and a great opportunity to share the mission of GNET.
Go Gold East Texas
Go Gold East Texas
Each September, East Texas families come together in Tyler’s Downtown Square to go gold for Childhood Cancer Awareness Month. This evening is dedicated to encouraging and honoring our heroes and their families with:
- A gold carpet for kids to walk with their families
- A gold balloon release to honor our heroes who are no longer with us
Research
All types of childhood cancer together receive less than 4% of the national research budget. We believe our kids are worth far more than 4%.

$10,000 Annual Donation Goal
$10,000 Annual Donation Goal
GNET believes in supporting the research of pediatric cancer-committed doctors at Children’s Health Dallas and UT Southwestern. Our kids deserve effective, nontoxic treatments, and we believe it’s crucial to support doctors and hospitals seeking the same goal.
Share the load
The burden of pediatric cancer is far too great to carry alone. If you or a loved one are walking this path, connect with us today.
