We fund the breakthroughs that change the course of pediatric cancer treatments
When it comes to the statistics surrounding kids’ cancers, we know we can do better. We’re committed to funding breakthrough research for less toxic treatments that let kids beat cancer without causing significant lifelong side effects. Our focus is on creating a future where children can win their fight against the #1 disease killer of children in the U.S. and still have a childhood not plagued with limitations.
How We Work
Every cookie ordered, dollar donated and event hosted fuels the fight against childhood cancer. Your support provides the critical funding needed to drive discovery, turning compassion into progress. Together, we create the spark that makes groundbreaking research possible.
Our Medical Advisory Board — made up of the nation’s top pediatric oncologists — reviews every research proposal we receive. They identify the studies with the greatest potential to become effective treatments for kids with cancer. Every decision is rooted in science, strategy and measurable impact.
Once funding is granted, researchers and doctors use it to develop new, improved and less toxic treatments for kids with cancer. These discoveries move from the lab to real-world care, in the shortest amount of time, giving more children the chance to grow up healthy.
Pushing Boundaries. Raising Standards.
We fund the science that moves the needle. Every grant we award supports cutting-edge research at the nation’s leading hospitals — projects designed to develop new, improved and less toxic treatments for kids with cancer.
Our Partner Centers
Our world-class Medical Advisory Board made up of some of the best minds in the world who rigorously assess, identify and fund the most promising research available. We partner with the top research institutions in the country to ensure that good research results in better, less toxic treatments for kids.
Better Treatments.
Brighter Futures.
By removing the red tape that delays progress, we help new treatments reach kids faster.
By focusing on research for less toxic treatments, we can reduce the risk of downstream side effects later in life.
Research is designed to treat the cancers specific to kids, making them more effective than adult-first options.
Ivy
Ivy is two years old and was diagnosed with neuroblastoma in the summer of 2025. Despite beginning her second round of chemo, she continues to fill every room with joy, laughter and strength far beyond her years. She loves playing doctor, cooking in her play kitchen and trying on mom’s makeup — constant reminders of how resilient kids can be and why research for safer treatments is so critical.
Ben
Ben was diagnosed with stage 3 Wilms tumor at age 3½ and treated at The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia. After relapsing just three months post-treatment, he faced another year of chemo and radiation — and won. Now 12 and cancer-free for over six years, Ben has raised more than $35,000 for childhood cancer research and hopes to become an oncologist one day.
Paislee
In July 2022, Paislee was diagnosed with B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia and began treatment immediately. A few weeks later, a bacterial infection from well water sent her into stage 4 septic shock, turning her recovery into a fight for her life. After months in the ICU, Paislee is now thriving and proudly rang her bell in 2024 — a true miracle and reminder of the importance of awareness.
