Dada Ngo, Co-founder of The Boiling Crab, expressed her enthusiasm for the initiative, stating, "At The Boiling Crab, we believe in the power of community and the importance of giving back. It is more important now than ever to bring light to pediatric cancer, as the number of children diagnosed continues to rise and the need for effective treatments grows. Partnering with the National Pediatric Cancer Foundation is a meaningful way for us to contribute to a cause that is close to our hearts. We hope that our efforts can help make a real difference in the fight against childhood cancer."

"Since opening our business in 2006, selling some of the most rarest shoes in the world to building our own in-house line of clothing. We've built RIF on the principle of "good people helping good people," and it's wonderful to see that this motto continues to support a great cause for children."

"We are excited to partner with The Boiling Crab on a special shirt to raise awareness for Childhood Cancer Awareness Month. As a family-owned business with children of our own, this collaboration holds a special place in our hearts," said Jeffrey Malabanan co-owner of RIF Los Angeles.
