MILWAUKIE, OR—Dark Horse Comics is turning pages for the Children’s Cancer
Association with its digital comics. The entire Dark Horse Digital collection,
which features over three thousand comics, will be made available for CCA’s
program.
The
Children’s Cancer Association partners with six Portland-area
health care providers, including Randall Children’s Hospital at Legacy Emanuel,
Doernbecher Children’s Hospital, and others, to offer programs and services
free of charge to seriously ill children, teens, and their families. CCA’s
programs and resources can now also be found in thirty-three pediatric
hospitals across the nation.
Dark Horse Comics is also donating four Apple
iPads to the charity for CCA’s use. These iPads will be loaded with Dark Horse
content and will feature an age gate for kids twelve and under.
Dark
Horse Digital offers its most popular titles at an unprecedented value, while
providing the highest-quality reading experience possible. Through cloud-based
technology, comics can be read and enjoyed on a laptop, desktop, mobile
browser, and the Dark Horse Bookshelf app, available now on Google Play and iTunes.

About Children’s Cancer
Association
The Children’s Cancer Association didn’t start with a foundation, it started with
a family. One who faced its own battle with serious pediatric illness almost
two decades ago in Portland, OR. From that experience came a passionate
commitment and focus: To deliver the resources, the friendship, and the healing
power of music to families facing the same challenges.
Unlike many
organizations dedicated to the worthy goal of someday finding a cure for
cancer, CCA is all about today. We specialize on the moment, delivering
immediate help to kids and teens facing life-threatening illness. When
seriously ill children and their families need more than medicine, CCA's
innovative programs create joy one moment at a time.
