Help fund better, safer treatments for kids fighting cancer.
We’re often asked the No. 1 risk factor for childhood cancer. The answer: simply being a child. Regrettably, there is no way to predict who will be impacted by childhood cancer. Plus, today’s treatments, like chemotherapy and radiation, are painful and harsh – especially on children’s growing bodies.
Your donation can make a difference by…
- Funding research for hard-to-treat cancers, where survival rates haven’t improved in decades.
- Supporting collaboration between top scientists at the best childhood cancer centers in the world.
- Helping young researchers receive funding to explore their groundbreaking ideas.
Better treatments and cures for kids always start with donors like you.
OUR WHY
Currently, only 4% of federal cancer research funding is dedicated to childhood cancer. It is crucial that we fund safer, more effective treatments and cures for kids with cancer. Because childhood cancer research is so severely underfunded, new cancer treatments always start with donors like you.
OUR MISSION
Our main focus is to support the research of bright scientists across the country whose ideas can make the greatest impact for children fighting cancer. We also fund resources and programs that help families who are fighting cancer stay strong, find community and take care of themselves.
In our January 1 to December 31, 2020 fiscal year, 85.4 percent of donations went toward our mission.
Every child fighting cancer has a story.
