Little Heroes Prom

LITTLE HEROES PROM 2025

Bringing together pediatric cancer patients from all over New Jersey, Little Heroes Prom will provide one night where children with cancer don’t have to worry about their treatment, a hospital stay, or anything associated with their cancer. Instead, they will enjoy an unforgettable experience honoring them like the HEROES they are!

With help from medical staff at hospitals and pediatric cancer support organizations, Blood Cancer United invites patients with ANY type of cancer under the age of 21 who receive care in New Jersey hospitals and clinics.

“Little Heroes Prom is just as special to caregivers and healthcare professionals as it is to children in their care”…

“I'm not one to show my emotions on the outside, but when Delaney was able to walk down the red carpet and everyone was cheering for her I was so completely overwhelmed. I had tears instantly - and I didn't even cry when she was diagnosed! Overwhelmed is honestly an understatement. I was so, so grateful for how you were making all these children feel, like the heroes and fighters they truly are…Thank you for giving us these incredible memories!!!”
