FACTS:  Every year, an estimated 250,000 new cases of cancer affect children under the age of 20 worldwide. That's almost 700 new kids affected every day. And yet, childhood cancer is vastly and consistently underfunded. Less than 5% of the federal government's total funding for cancer research is dedicated to childhood cancers each year.

Kids with cancer don't have time to wait. Your donation will go to research seeking lifesaving treatment, and the money you give has the potential to make an enormous difference for these kids and their families. As every dollar helps, we thank you for your support!
