The Cause

Lighting the fight against childhood cancer

Did you know? Cancer is the leading cause of death by disease in children. For those who survive, the side effects of treatment can cause severe long-term health problems.


Trailer Bridge is partnering with the Kate Amato Foundation, an organization dedicated to finding safer, smarter and more effective treatments for children with cancer. The foundation’s vision is to fund innovative pediatric cancer research that accelerates the pace of progress and saves young lives.

"Cloudy Times"

Make the best of every day.

Work hard, play hard.
That’s the way.
Work hard to make it better,
And enjoy what you’ve done.
Work hard to make it better,
Make it fun for everyone.
Swim in the flood,
Dance in the rain.
Don’t forget to smile.
Shine through the pain.

honoring the life of kate amato

Kate Amato was nine years old when she was diagnosed with Stage 4 alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma, an aggressive soft tissue cancer that attacks skeletal muscles. After fighting courageously for more than two years, Kate passed away on November 30, 2016.

Her family says it was during her illness that her spirit really began to shine, capturing hearts around the world through social media. She had a smile and joy that was contagious, and despite her pain, Kate inspired those around her to be the best version of themselves and make the world a more beautiful place.

The Kate Amato Foundation was formed to keep Kate’s spirit shining brightly, funding innovative childhood cancer research and spreading joy to children experiencing the same challenges as Kate.
