Yesterday was World Cancer Day so we held a contest within a contest to help spread awareness, especially about childhood cancers. In our current GAME ON contest we have invited folks to send us photos of SEE’S Candies or of the decorations at SEE’S. However, in honor of World Cancer Day we expanded this contest and asked folks to send us any photo that had to do with Valentines. For entries received on this day only we would donate $10 per photo to the Juliana’s Journey Foundation special fundraising efforts at GO FUND ME for the clinical trials up at UCSF. More information HERE and you can also make a donation to this very worthy cause.

We received many comments on our facebook page about those who have battled cancer and our hearts go out to all. Here is a post we shared:
There is not a single one of us that has not been touched by cancer in some way. Many are battling for their lives today, many have found another life in remission, yet others sadly are taken away with angel wings.
Our heart goes out as we receive this post just now:
My Forever Valentine friend lost her fight with cancer on December 21st, 2013 (Breast cancer). She was only 35 years old and left behind 2 young boys. She will forever be in my heart, thoughts, and prayers. -Jorge Junior

See’s Candy Employees
Around late 1980’s
Photo: Tracy
I can’t remember exactly how old I was but it was around elementary school aged. See’s had a giveaway of these little motorcycles with a sidecar. My grandfather woke me up extremely early to wait inline to get one. We ate at McDonald’s before braving the cold weather. I had some orange that didnt sit well with my stomach and as we were waiting in line it all came back up. A woman from See’s brought some paper towels out the cover the sidewalk and while I uncontrollably cried, my grandpa patted me on the back and let me know I was going to be okay. We had originally agreed to keep the motorcycles in the box but to make me feel better, he let me open mine up to play with. At the time it didn’t mean much to me but looking back that was a real special moment I shared with my grandpa and think about it every time I drive by See’s.
