Mission Statement

Fighting childhood cancer with HOPE by 1) Increasing awareness of childhood cancer, and specifically that while more children are surviving their diagnoses, 95% of them are facing a significant side effect by the time they are 45 years old; 2) Providing programs for patients and families currently in the journey; and 3) Funding research in the area of pediatric cardio-oncology which studies the effects of treatments on these children’s hearts.

Our mission is to spread awareness &understanding of childhood cancer in our community, provide service and comfort to the children and their families, and to provide much-needed support to research the late effects of treatment.
