Max Payan is a 10-year-old boy. He loves basketball, playing Fortnite, and spending time with his family. After going to the doctor for a check up on what they thought was growing pains, his entire life suddenly changed in an instant. Multiple tumors were discovered all over his body and he was diagnosed with double hit (MYC+ and BCL6+) stage 4 high grade b-cell lymphoma, an extremely rare and aggressive cancer. Since late 2024, Max has been fighting for his life and is such a brave kid.

We are a group of high schoolers local to Brevard that want to make a change. This year we officially became a non-profit that raises funds and awareness for children with cancer. We want to help Max and the Payan family get through this tough time, and the best way we know how to is to get the community involved. We ask that you donate to help Max and send prayers. Every dollar raised will go to the Payan family and signifies our love towards Max❤️

In honor of Max we have started our shaving event, where we shave to honor him and all the brave children fighting everyday. Our last event we raised 1600 dollars towards cancer research and hope to expand this number to help Max’s family.

Help make a difference and please spread awareness about Max’s story!
