About Us:
Silken Twine is a non-profit foundation dedicated to helping pediatric cancer patients and their families. With our support, over 250 families have received financial assistance for non-medical expenses, such as groceries and transportation. Additionally, we award a $1000 college scholarship to two accomplished and brave young cancer survivors every year.

"Sophie's Steps" holds a special place in our hearts, as it is named after our beloved Sophie Malaviya, who fought pediatric cancer for ten years before passing away in 2017. At Silken Twine, we firmly believe that the families of pediatric cancer patients should focus on their loved ones' recovery without worrying about financial burdens. By participating in Sophie's Steps and purchasing tickets, you are contributing to this noble cause. Your support allows us to continue making a positive impact and assisting even more families during these challenging times. Together, we can make a real difference in the lives of those battling pediatric cancer.
