Michael J. Arias Champions Program

This special program was developed to assist children with pediatric cancer and to educate the public about the disease. It is named in honor of EKC’s inaugural Champion, Michael Joseph Arias, who at age 3 was diagnose with Neuroblastoma Cancer. He sadly passed away at age 5 in October of 1999 but not before leaving a lasting mark on all who knew him.

Michaels name is featured on all aspects of the EKC water program including the all new Phoenix Children's Hospital water label.
