Carly’s Story
When 8-year-old Carly Collard Cottone was diagnosed with brain cancer, she knew she could make a difference. She was up against something tough, but it was a challenge she faced with courage and optimism.
Carly was so appreciative of the support she received from others while in treatment that she wanted to give back to help other kids like her. So she started Carly’s Club at Roswell Park.
Although Carly was only on this earth a short time, her legacy continues today, giving children facing cancer and blood disorders a fighting chance today through the Courage of Carly Fund at Roswell Park. Providing everything from unforgettable memories and family events to financial support, donations and fundraising efforts allow the Courage of Carly Fund to offer hope and a little bit of extra happiness to children, teens and their families.
