About Our Auction
The Cure Starts Now Central Texas Chapter was established by Vicky and Troy Bridier in September of 2016 in the memory of their daughter, Jade who passed away at the young age of 4 from DIPG, an aggressive and deadly brain tumor. During her 5 days of battle with cancer, Jade's story became an inspiration to hundreds of thousands of people and opened the eyes of many to the plight of children and families who are impacted by pediatric cancer. The mission of The Cure Starts Now Central Texas Chapter is to continue Jade’s legacy by funding cutting edge DIPG research and providing support and information to the children and families who continue to fight every day.
The Cure Starts Now Parker County Chapter was established in beautiful Parker County Texas by Cassy in honor and celebration of her husband, Robert Ballinger. Robert was diagnosed with a pediatric brain cancer called DIPG (Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma) on September 24, 2018. It is commonly found in children between the ages of 4-9. The prognoses are not good. Children have a life expectance of 8 -12-month survival rate. By the grace of God Robert is still here. We both decided while he is here, we can be a voice to the many children that are fighting this awful disease. As you may know a 4-year-old can’t explain what symptoms they are having. But my Robert can. He can help be the voice for the children. We can’t do it without Texans support.
The Cure Starts Now Cancer Research Foundation is a 501(c)(3) Federal Non-Profit. We are one of the only cancer foundations dedicated to a Homerun Cure™ for all cancers, starting first with one of the most deadly and difficult cancers: pediatric brain cancer. Many experts believe that the lessons we learn from fighting pediatric cancer may in fact provide us the critical first step in winning the battle against all forms of cancer, both pediatric and adult.

It is an international effort of families, friends, businesses, and even strangers, united in the desire to cure cancer, one child at a time.
