Approximately 12,400 children are diagnosed with cancer in the United States each year. There are more than 800 million active users on Facebook. What if every time a free Facebook layout was downloaded, $1 was donated to benefit these kids? The average annual treatment cost of $34K wouldn’t seem so overwhelming for these families. That’s where San Diego based Cause Layouts and the Isaiah Alonso Foundation come in. Cause Layouts are the first and only free Facebook fundraising layouts. The Isaiah Alonso Foundation is a nonprofit working to help families battling childhood cancer. Now through the end of the year, for every original download of a free Cause Layout, $1 will be donated to the Isaiah Alonso Foundation to benefit five families with children currently undergoing treatment: Jose Perez, Aidan Harris, Emily Beazley, and Raleigh-Durham natives - Kaleb Carr and Collin Henry.
