One of our core values, "Be Helpful," is genuinely embodied by Just Tryan It, a non-profit organization committed to aiding families affected by childhood cancer. Their tireless efforts to help families tackle cancer's challenges by offering financial aid, emotional support, and hope are truly exceptional. This Sunday, April 30th, Just Tryan It is organizing a children's triathlon in Chapel Hill, NC. As proud sponsors of this event, AddShoppers and our product, SafeOpt, encourage everyone in the area to attend, demonstrate support, and contribute if possible.

About Just Tryan It

A group of devoted women established Just Tryan It to support a friend whose child, Ryan Darby, had been diagnosed with cancer. In Ryan's honor, Just Tryan It became an official non-profit in 2010, with a mission to "positively impact the lives of families whose children have been diagnosed with cancer by providing financial assistance." Their inaugural fundraising event was a children's triathlon, a custom that still continues. These triathlons promote children's health while cultivating community service and philanthropy. Children learn empathy, compassion, and the significance of helping others through participation. They are encouraged to secure pledges and raise awareness of the challenges faced by families with ill children.

Just Tryan It delivers essential financial aid, education, and guidance to hundreds of families grappling with pediatric cancer. They provide families with critical financial assistance, resources, and information to traverse the intricate world of cancer treatment. By collaborating with medical professionals and institutions, they ensure that families receive comprehensive support. In 2022 alone, they supported and positively influenced the lives of 214 families.
