$1 Million Raised for Sam Robb Fund

A legacy is hard to build, especially when the individual doesnt live past age 20. But Sam Robbs family has created an enviable legacy for him. Soon after his death from osteosarcoma, his family formed the Sam Robb Fund (SRF), a Named Fund of CURE Childhood Cancer, to continue Sams fight against childhood cancer.

The SRF initially funded the Sam Robb Fellow at the Aflac Cancer and Blood Disorders Center at Childrens Healthcare of Atlanta and supported CUREs Open Arms Meal Program. The Fund surpassed $1 million this year and also named the sixth Sam Robb Fellow, Dr. Juhi Jain.

Described as larger than life, Sam tackled his cancer treatment like a sports opponent and fought hard. Unfortunately, four years after he thought he beat cancer, doctors found a tumor on his lung. Never one to give up, Sam created the mantra, Fightin till the last breath. Several renowned doctors felt surgery to remove the tumor was life-threatening, but Sam refused to live in fear and found a brave surgeon who agreed to remove the tumor and a lung. Sam passed away during surgery.

In 2018, Sams family shifted part of their fundraising efforts away from family meals and toward healing the emotional and psychosocial needs of patients and families in treatment. They now support CUREs Counseling Program.

Raising $1 million is an amazing testimony to the commitment of Sams family, friends, community, and volunteers who have poured their love into building his legacy. For more information about the SRF, visit CureChildhoodCancer.org/funds/the-sam-robb-fund.
