Today's daily Highlight from Elvis Duran in the Morning Show. Wow,
there's so many reasons we love this time of year.
It is jingle ball season, It's get together with friends
and family and blow it out season. It's also the
season where every year, like clockwork, our friends from Cookies
for Kids Cancer and Delongey roll in here and we
tell some stories about how we are raising money to
(00:23):
fund these incredible, incredible grants that can save kids' lives.
And at the same time we do it with the
people that caffe at us every morning. Our drug of
choice is, of course caffeine, and it is administered so
beautifully by our friends at DELONGEI let me let me
read the room for you. First of all, Mike Praeger,
our friend's CEO from Delongei's here. Good morning, Mike, good
(00:45):
to see you.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
Good morning Elvis and everyone. It's just great to see you.
It always is best day of the year.
Speaker 1 (00:50):
Seems like every time I see Mike he's a limping
from some basketball fully recovered. Thank you. Also, my neighbor
Gretchen went of course from Cookies for Kids. Answer is here.
Hi Gretchen, Hi, how are you?
Speaker 3 (01:02):
How's the weather?
Speaker 1 (01:03):
The weather out here in our hometown is great. It's
kind of funny that you drove all the way in.
I'm still out here next to your house. I'm gonna
go rate your your drawer in a few minutes. You
have a special drawer in the kitchen, all right, please? Yeah.
I think Gretchen always honks. I always hear honking in
my net outside of my house. I'm like, is that
a drone? We also have very very special guest here today.
(01:24):
Andrew is here with his mom, Betty. Hi, Andrew, welcome
to the show. How you doing today? You're doing okay? Yeah? Yeah,
doing this is weird being on the radio, is it not. Yeah,
it's weird for us to believe me, and we do
it every day. Hi, Betty, thanks for coming in and
bringing Andrew in with you.
Speaker 3 (01:42):
Hi.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
We appreciate it very much. All Right, So you've met
you've met Mike, you've met Gretchen, you've met Andrew, you've
met Betty. Now let's put it all together. So every
single year, Gretchen from Cookies for Kitchen Cancer says, hey,
let's do it again, and we're like, absolutely we will.
And then our friend Mike Prager see EO of Delongey says, Okay,
(02:03):
let's do our part every year. So what we do
We talk about all the incredible products you can buy,
these magical machines we call them, for your kitchen and
other parts of your life from DELONGEI. You go online
to delongea dot com. You buy these things, and a
lot of that money they send it over to Cookies
for Kids Cancer, and that's very important. Let's get to
that in a minute, and we'll give you a peek
(02:23):
at the number that you helped us raise so far
this year. Let's start with you, Gretchen High, Gretchen High, neighbor,
Cookies for Kids Cancer. I like that music you're playing there, Scarry,
What is that? This is Christmas Cannon from the Trans
Siberian Orchestra. Oh my god, I love it when you
set the mood. All right, So the importance of Cookies
(02:43):
for Kids Cancer. A brief history because some people don't
even know what it's about.
Speaker 3 (02:48):
Go ahead, very brief history. So my son Lean was
diagnosed when he was two and a half with stage
four cancer. I didn't know that kids got cancer. I
certainly didn't know that it's the number one disease killer.
And I didn't know that the cancers the kids get
are totally different than the cancers that adults get, and
it just didn't seem right, and it seemed like maybe
(03:09):
there was an opportunity to try and help. So when
he was at a point of being cancer free, I
knew that there was a treatment in development and it
needed help getting across the finish line with funding, because unfortunately,
one of the other things about pediatric cancer is that
it doesn't get the amount of funding that it needs.
So I had the idea to bake a few cookies
(03:31):
and baked ninety six thousand, and.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
My god, you're nut.
Speaker 3 (03:38):
It was a little crazy. It was actually a lot
harder than I thought it was, and that raised four
hundred and twenty thousand dollars. That money went to a
new treatment that was in development, and it became available
seven months after Liam relapsed and lost his battle, and
(04:02):
that is now one of the frontline treatments that kids
receive and it's a part of the regular protocol. But
what that project taught me was that people do care
about kids who get cancer. They want to help, but
they need to know that there's something tangible that they
can do. And more than anything. They also want to
know that their effort is going to make a difference.
(04:22):
So in the time that we've been at this, we've
funded close to twenty five million dollars in research grants.
Those grants have gone on to make dozens of new
treatments available for kids, and we routinely meet children who
are alive today because of a treatment that we've helped
(04:43):
to fund. In fact, I wanted to share with you
that one of the grants that we funded last year,
in large part because of what your support and Delongi support,
is now a active trial that's enrolling children for a
type of brain tumor that is you're particularly tough, and
that project is doing so well, so well that there's
(05:06):
a waiting list of kids hoping to enroll in this trial,
and so our big focus from now until the end
of the year is to try to get every child
off the waiting list. And the cost for each child
to move off the waiting list is thirty thousand dollars.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
Wow. Okay, all right, well, that's why we are so
happy to look over there at the cash register and
CEO of Delongi, Mike Prager, is ready to check us
out and scan our code, and we're just see we're
going to see if we can get it. If we're
going to see if we could if we could get
some cash in there so we can get some of
those grants, some of those those those trial those kids
(05:45):
on the trials. When I'm trying to say sorry about that.
You know, we love you, Gretchen, and thank you for
everything you do every year tirelessly, and you are so
much appreciated and anyway we love having in our lives.
Very back at you now, Betty. Absolutely, Betty is here
with her son Andrew. Betty, let me go ahead and
tell your story, and I just slightly do I want
(06:06):
you to fill in the blanks because you know it
better than anyone. Andrew was first diagnosed with stage four
high risk neuro blestoma when he was four years old. Yeah,
that was what eleven years ago?
Speaker 4 (06:15):
Was ho old? Are you now?
Speaker 1 (06:16):
Andrew? Fifteen? Fourteen fifteen? I'm sixteen? Oh my god? He
he grew another year while we were just sitting. You
endured more than four years of active treatment, including multiple
rounds of chemo, high dose radiation, experimental drugs, numerous surgeries,
countless blood transfusions, other very invasive achy procedures. Andrew participated
(06:38):
in and benefited from a treatment funded by Cookies for
Kids Cancer. Now he's like living life, sixteen years old,
almost seventeen, love a UFC video games and Betty, what
are your thoughts about what's going on in this room
and everything leading up to this point with your son Andrew.
Speaker 5 (06:57):
I remember when he was diagnosed and colleges said, twenty
years ago, no kids survived, and now they have this
roadmap of a year and a half of treatment and
it's everything. They really throw these harsh, you know, toxic
treatments at these kids, and that's how they get a
survival rate to go up. But a few months in
(07:17):
we were told that Andrew stopped responding to Chimo because
Kimo made his body so weak, he was very limited
in the treatment options. I remember calling doctors across the
country looking for any trial, and then he's oncologist at
CHOPS sent him to Sloan for immunotherapy. It's an incredibly
(07:40):
painful treatment, but Andrew responded to it and because of
that he was able to enrolling other experimental trials and
after four years of treatment, So after I met Gretchen,
I realized that that trial was funded by Cookies for Kids,
(08:03):
and you know, your pastomach is so rare, and the
research funding is coming from small organizations such as Cookies,
And we're just so grateful that you know, there are
people like Gretchen in the world who you know, get
(08:24):
the funding to the doctors, these amazing doctors who are
tirelessly working to get you know, better treatments, less toxic options.
We're grateful for you know, giving us hope. We're grateful
that you give these you know, kids a fighting chance alive.
(08:47):
And he's here because of you.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
So thank you, Oh thank you for coming in and
telling your story. Of course, Betty, mother of Andrew, who's
who's here with us as well? If you're just turning
us on, I think it's time for let's let's go
to the let's go to check out. Let's check check
out counter with Mike. Mike's there ready to scan it through.
Mike being a part of this every year with us.
(09:12):
We can't thank you enough, and thank you to everyone
at DELONGI. Your entire team is just flawless and fabulous.
Is there anything you want to say before this massive
check rolls that way over there?
Speaker 2 (09:24):
Well, I would say first off, certainly thanks to Gretchen
for all that she does, but also Elvis, to you
and the team the Morning Show and more broadly the
broader team. It's everybody together that you know makes this happen.
And I have to say to the colleagues at the
LONGI they're the ones that came to us ten years
(09:45):
ago and said, we know we make the world's greatest
coffee machines, but we want to do more than that,
and that's what led us to Gretchen. And lastly, I'll
say the reason we're so inspired is it's very real.
What Gretchen does is very real, and I think Betty
and Andrew are just one of so many examples of it.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
So with that, we can send the check over. Yeah
all right, alkay, look at that. Look at that. We
love these big, massive checks. I tried to cram one
in the ATM the other day. It just didn't fit.
Look at that, Okay, So look at this. Okay, take
it away, Mike.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
Well we we we give this check to Cookies for
Kids Cancer and Gretchen. This takes us over together, Elvis
takes us over one million dollars through the time of
our partnership together, and I turn over to Gretchen and
she can share.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
Gretchen, don't rip it. It's the only one we have,
because I know Gretchen, she gets a little excited about
these things.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
So while she's opening, I'll share to you and your
listeners and everyone that this year's donation, based on everything
that you described is one hundred thousand dollars.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
WHOA, Oh my god, that's a lot of zeros. Look
at those zeros. Wowat amazing. Last time you saw that
many zeros is when we were at dinner at your house,
sitting around your table. One hundred thousand dollars. What does
that mean for cookies for kids cancer and all the
(11:22):
grants and for people like Betty and of course Andrew.
Speaker 3 (11:25):
I mean, it fully funds one year of a grant.
So there's that we have those kids that we're trying
to get off the waiting list, and that's thirty thousand
for each one of those children. So we've we've funded
a full year of a research grant and it's been well, okay, incredible.
Speaker 1 (11:48):
Thank you, Thank you so much. Delongey amazing and everyone
who bought all that Delongeay gear. Good for you. I mean,
you're benefitting in so many ways. Oh, but the number,
even with all those zeros, it just seems it seems
like it needs something else. Yes, it's a end on
a zero. It's a beautiful, beautiful. Yeah, it is bad
luck to end on a zero. Yeah, it is. Well, Gandhi,
(12:11):
Gandhi's you know, she's the great great granddaughter of Mahatma Gandhi.
She knows everything. Gandhi, you have a sharpie. Can we
change that number? Yes? Absolutely, You're okay if we mess
up your check a little bit here. Absolutely. I've learned
that when you mess it up, you mess it up good.
So okay it up too. I think I believe that
(12:32):
the one hundred thousand should be changed to one hundred
fifty thousand. No, no, no, no, I just say do.
I just thought about it. I was thinking maybe wall
that'd be great. Well you already did, did you want
to write the five?
Speaker 4 (12:53):
All right?
Speaker 1 (12:53):
So, well, one hundred and fifty thousand dollars to cookies
for kids cancer amazing, and there's more. Wait, so, Andrew,
we know that you are a big UFC fan, So
are you all right? I think I hope we don't
mess this up? Right, So Mike Prager has connections. Of course,
(13:15):
he's the CEO. I don't know what CEO stands for,
but it sounds big and impressive. What's going on over there, Mike.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
Well, we I have connections and one of our wonderful colleagues, Handily,
who's right outside, is my connection.
Speaker 1 (13:27):

We appreciate it very much. All Right, So you've met

single year, Gretchen from Cookies for Kitchen Cancer says, hey,
let's do it again, and we're like, absolutely we will.
And then our friend Mike Prager see EO of Delongey says, Okay,
(02:03):
let's do our part every year. So what we do
We talk about all the incredible products you can buy,
these magical machines we call them, for your kitchen and
other parts of your life from DELONGEI. You go online
to delongea dot com. You buy these things, and a
lot of that money they send it over to Cookies
for Kids Cancer, and that's very important. Let's get to
that in a minute, and we'll give you a peek
(02:23):
at the number that you helped us raise so far

Cookies for Kids Cancer. I like that music you're playing there, Scarry,
What is that? This is Christmas Cannon from the Trans

set the mood. All right, So the importance of Cookies
(02:43):
for Kids Cancer. A brief history because some people don't

(04:22):
So in the time that we've been at this, we've
funded close to twenty five million dollars in research grants.
Those grants have gone on to make dozens of new
treatments available for kids, and we routinely meet children who
are alive today because of a treatment that we've helped
(04:43):
to fund. In fact, I wanted to share with you
that one of the grants that we funded last year,
in large part because of what your support and Delongi support,
is now a active trial that's enrolling children for a
type of brain tumor that is you're particularly tough, and
that project is doing so well, so well that there's
(05:06):
a waiting list of kids hoping to enroll in this trial,
and so our big focus from now until the end
of the year is to try to get every child
off the waiting list. And the cost for each child
to move off the waiting list is thirty thousand dollars.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
Wow. Okay, all right, well, that's why we are so
happy to look over there at the cash register and
CEO of Delongi, Mike Prager, is ready to check us
out and scan our code, and we're just see we're
going to see if we can get it. If we're
going to see if we could if we could get
some cash in there so we can get some of
those grants, some of those those those trial those kids
(05:45):
on the trials. When I'm trying to say sorry about that.
You know, we love you, Gretchen, and thank you for
everything you do every year tirelessly, and you are so
much appreciated and anyway we love having in our lives.
Very back at you now, Betty. Absolutely, Betty is here
with her son Andrew. Betty, let me go ahead and
tell your story, and I just slightly do I want
(06:06):
you to fill in the blanks because you know it
better than anyone. Andrew was first diagnosed with stage four
high risk neuro blestoma when he was four years old. Yeah,
that was what eleven years ago?
Speaker 4 (06:15):
Was ho old? Are you now?
Speaker 1 (06:16):
Andrew? Fifteen? Fourteen fifteen? I'm sixteen? Oh my god? He
he grew another year while we were just sitting. You
endured more than four years of active treatment, including multiple
rounds of chemo, high dose radiation, experimental drugs, numerous surgeries,
countless blood transfusions, other very invasive achy procedures. Andrew participated
(06:38):
in and benefited from a treatment funded by Cookies for

almost seventeen, love a UFC video games and Betty, what
are your thoughts about what's going on in this room
and everything leading up to this point with your son Andrew.
Speaker 5 (06:57):
I remember when he was diagnosed and colleges said, twenty

And we're just so grateful that you know, there are

the funding to the doctors, these amazing doctors who are
tirelessly working to get you know, better treatments, less toxic options.
We're grateful for you know, giving us hope. We're grateful
that you give these you know, kids a fighting chance alive.
(08:47):
And he's here because of you.
Speaker 1 (08:49):

So with that, we can send the check over. Yeah
all right, alkay, look at that. Look at that. We

in the ATM the other day. It just didn't fit.
Look at that, Okay, So look at this. Okay, take
it away, Mike.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
Well we we we give this check to Cookies for
Kids Cancer and Gretchen. This takes us over together, Elvis
takes us over one million dollars through the time of
our partnership together, and I turn over to Gretchen and
she can share.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
Gretchen, don't rip it. It's the only one we have,
because I know Gretchen, she gets a little excited about
these things.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
So while she's opening, I'll share to you and your
listeners and everyone that this year's donation, based on everything
that you described is one hundred thousand dollars.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
WHOA, Oh my god, that's a lot of zeros. Look
at those zeros. Wowat amazing. Last time you saw that
many zeros is when we were at dinner at your house,
sitting around your table. One hundred thousand dollars. What does
that mean for cookies for kids cancer and all the
(11:22):
grants and for people like Betty and of course Andrew.
Speaker 3 (11:25):
I mean, it fully funds one year of a grant.
So there's that we have those kids that we're trying
to get off the waiting list, and that's thirty thousand
for each one of those children. So we've we've funded
a full year of a research grant and it's been well, okay, incredible.
Speaker 1 (11:48):
Thank you, Thank you so much. Delongey amazing and everyone
who bought all that Delongeay gear. Good for you. I mean,
you're benefitting in so many ways. Oh, but the number,
