CHEYANNA’S CHAMPIONS 4 CHILDREN

CC4C EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR JOB POSTING

About Cheyanna’s Champions 4 Children In 2012, Talaya Frazier founded CC4C in honor of her daughter Cheyanna. Talaya had turned to running as a way to find power and strength while waiting on her daughter’s diagnosis and a cure, and she learned that other children were finding strength and inspiration in Talaya’s marathon training. The commitment to a challenging, long route resonated and connected kids who were struggling with an adult’s struggle. Inspired by this connection, Talaya began recruiting celebrities to inspire struggling children who are at risk for losing hope, and to support families who are feeling isolated. Today, CC4C builds and supports teams around families with children with rare and undiagnosed conditions, expanding on Talaya’s initial vision. Each year, CC4C welcomes 12 new families, matching the children with a high school team and providing financial assistance and family-focused health and wellness programs. CC4C provides additional outreach, support, and resources thanks to our staff, board members, and volunteers. With a modest budget just over $500,000, CC4C has served over 100 families and enthusiastically works to reach the high demand of serving more. As CC4C prepares to welcome our new Executive Director, we are excited for our next steps and continued development.
