This initiative directly benefits families across New Jersey by funding personalized medical, emotional, and psychosocial care provided by The Valerie Fund’s eight hospital-based children’s centers and one program. These centers go beyond treatment — they help children, and their families, navigate the most difficult journeys of their lives with compassion and expert care, all close to home.

After all, the franchised car and truck retailers they serve have long been champions of philanthropy and The Valerie Fund’s mission to support children with cancer and blood disorders resonated with so many. More than 200 dealerships throughout the state embraced the campaign over the years. In the showrooms, salespeople were kind enough to share their enthusiasm with customers who were made aware of the dealerships’ donations following their test drives and vehicle purchases. Some manufacturers also matched those contributions.   [read more »](https://blog.thevaleriefund.org/driving-support-with-nj-auto-retailers) 0 Comments [Click here to read/write comments](https://blog.thevaleriefund.org/driving-support-with-nj-auto-retailers#comments-listing) Topics: [fundraising](https://blog.thevaleriefund.org/topic/fundraising), [2020](https://blog.thevaleriefund.org/topic/2020), [#BecauseofValerie](https://blog.thevaleriefund.org/topic/becauseofvalerie), [NJ Auto Retailers](https://blog.thevaleriefund.org/topic/nj-auto-retailers) ## [Sylvie Stays Strong](https://blog.thevaleriefund.org/sylvie-stays-strong) Posted by [The Valerie Fund](https://blog.thevaleriefund.org/author/the-valerie-fund) on 06/30/20 - [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) [![](https://blog.thevaleriefund.org/hubfs/BLOG%20FB%20Image%20Sylvie%20Strong.png)](https://blog.thevaleriefund.org/sylvie-stays-strong) Former TVF patient Sylvie never let her cancer diagnosis stop her.

We traded our blues for a stunning blue, cloudless sky three days in a row.
