Our Calling
We focus on making the maximum positive effort for the pediatric cancer community. Our volunteers provide the momentum that helps us affect change. We will provide solutions that make a long-lasting difference and most importantly give more children a future.
Our Mission
SAVE LIVES through funding targeted research dedicated to less harmful and more individualized cancer treatments.
INSPIRE HOPE for children and their families battling cancer through meaningful gifts designed to provide a glimmer of light, a spark of joy and the gift of laughter to those in need!
The Task
Cancer is the number one cause of death by disease among children. 1 in 285 children will be diagnosed with cancer. More than 95% of childhood cancer survivors will have a significant health-related issue by the time they are 45 years of age. These health-related issues are side-effects of either cancer or more commonly, the result of its treatment.
Since 1980, fewer than 10 drugs have been developed for use in children with cancer. Only 4% of federal government cancer research funding goes to study pediatric cancer.
