OUR MISSION
Fund research to power cures that reduce the percentage of children who perish from cancer until that number reaches zero.
OUR VISION
Make it possible for all children facing childhood cancer to beat their disease and achieve their full potential so they can realize happy, healthy, productive futures.
OUR PURPOSE
The Pediatric Cancer Research Foundation improves the lives of children living with cancer by funding novel research to transform pediatric cancer care. We focus on advancing treatments and protocols that will create cures where none exist and inspire less toxic regimens that have fewer side effects. We believe that vibrant partnerships with the research community are essential for accelerating meaningful scientific progress -- partnerships that endure and flourish as days turn into years and stomach-churning disappointments alternate with exhilarating wins. That is why we cultivate today’s research rock stars and tomorrow’s innovators with the same steadfast commitment, optimism, and belief. Together, we will change the world of pediatric cancer care and make it possible for children facing childhood cancer to spread their wings and soar.
