We fund childhood cancer research.
Research that holds the promise of finding gentler and more effective treatments for childhood cancer. Why? Because more than 175,000 children worldwide are diagnosed with cancer each year.
An idea, a theory, a what if. This is where all breakthroughs begin. For childhood cancer research, these are the sparks— the potentially transformative innovations— and we are the catalyst. By funding early- stage research that might otherwise go unfunded, CancerFree KIDS gives bold ideas the opportunity to revolutionize the way we treat childhood cancer.
Our mission at CancerFree KIDS is to eradicate cancer as a life-threatening disease in children by funding promising research that might otherwise go unfunded.
