116: Cool Kids Clubhouse - Meet Melissa Scott and Liz Mills

07/14/22 • 30 min

In this episode I’m featuring another great local nonprofit that’s working hard at supporting families that are fighting childhood cancer. Melissa Scott is the Managing Director at Cool Kids Clubhouse in Huntersville, and she joins us to share the story behind Cool Kids Clubhouse. Their mission is devoted to improving the quality of life for pediatric oncology patients, survivors, and their families by focusing on the academic, social, and emotional needs brought on by a cancer diagnosis.

Also joining us is Liz Mills. Liz helped me connect with Melissa and Cool Kids Clubhouse and she has been working in support of Cool Kids Clubhouse for several years. Liz also shares the story of how she was inspired to go to work supporting families coping with a childhood cancer diagnosis.
