Welcoming Erin!

We are so excited to welcome Erin Benson to the cc-TDI team as Director of Partnerships and Community Outreach.       Erin joined the childhood cancer community in 2013 when her then 2-year-old son, Sam, was diagnosed with DIPG.  In 2014, she launched a nonprofit, WithPurpose, dedicated to advancing treatment for childhood cancer.  WithPurpose has been a partner and supporter of cc-TDI since its inception in 2014.  Prior to becoming a childhood cancer activist, Erin worked as a market research and strategy consultant.  She brought her passion for the mission of making all forms of childhood cancer survivable and her empathy for families in the fight to cc-TDI in 2017.  Erin completed her undergraduate degree at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and her Masters in Communication Studies at the University of Minnesota.
