Kids can do anything.
And when we believe in them, they believe in themselves.
Welcome to the Childhood Cancer Hall of Champions™ — a bold, joy-fueled movement celebrating every kid’s strength, creativity, and endless potential. From the smallest smile to the biggest dreams, we’re here to prove that kids don’t need to be superheroes to be heroes. They already are.
A Movement Inspired By Kids.
Fueled By Community.
We believe:
Kids can paint murals
Kids can climb mountains
Kids can build halls, raise hope, and beat cancer
Kids can do anything
And they are — every single day. That’s why we’re building a place (and a platform) that honors it.
From classrooms to kitchen tables, from Phoenix neighborhoods to hospital rooms—kids are the real heroes. We're just helping them tell their stories.
“Even the smallest heroes can do very big things… especially when they lead with love.”
Dream Big. Always.
One day, the Hall becomes a physical building. A place for every chid. While we build, the hall is our community, our presence, our never faltering hope and courage.
Help us build the Childhood Cancer Hall of Champions — a space to honor kids fighting cancer and inspire those supporting them, one dollar at a time.

Turning Courage into Legacy.
Hi, I’m Michael G. Velázquez, the founder of The Childhood Cancer Hall of Champions™.
When I think about this project, I don’t see it as an organization or even a mission — I see it as a promise.
It challenges me to grow — as a man, as a father, as a human being. It reminds me that my life does, indeed, matter — that God placed a blessing in my heart to accomplish something meaningful and purposeful with the time I’ve been given.
At its heart, this project is deeply personal. It’s for my boys — Michael Alfredo and Max Alexander — so that one day they’ll know their dad’s life mattered. That even with all my flaws, fears, and failures, I found the courage to chase a dream bigger than myself.
A dream that no child, no parent, no family facing cancer will ever feel alone again.
In our story, my sons and I imagined a world where every child with cancer is honored as a champion. Today, that dream is starting to take shape — brick by brick, heart by heart and now, page by page.
MEDIA DISTRIBUTION
The adventure begins
Before there was a campaign, there was a bedtime story — a father, his sons, and a dog named OdieBoy who dreamed of a Hall built on hope.
Written through Michael’s eyes, inspired by his sons, and shaped by the real families he’s met, Dream Big: The Hall of Champions carries the heartbeat of this mission.
Every chapter reminds us why this fight matters — not in statistics, but in faces, laughter, and love that endures.
It’s a story that asks one simple question: What if hope could build something real?
When you purchase the book, you’re doing more than reading.
You’re proving that kids can do anything.
