Ruban will never forget the night she went backstage at a concert to meet her idol when she was 17 years old. The experience was truly healing to me. Now cancer free and a social worker at The Valerie Fund Children's Center at Overlook Hospital in Summit, NJ, Ellen counsels and supports children who are going through the same battles with cancer that she once faced. Established in 1976 by Ed and Sue Goldstein in memory of their nine-year old daughter Valerie who lost her six year battle with cancer, The Valerie Fund now treats more than 4,000 children with cancer and blood disorders at centers located in seven major hospitals throughout New Jerse and one in New York City. The Valerie Fund offers tribute cards that can be used in memory or honor of a special occasion, such as birthdays, anniversaries, the birth of a child or grandchild, graduation, bar mitzvah, bat mitzvah, the purchase of a new home, marriage, or any other accomplishment you would like to congratulate someone on.
All cards are the same, except for the logo on the front.
