our mission
Since you woke up this morning...35 parents have been told that their child has
cancer. How can we rest until that
number is 0?

Our Mission: CancerFree Kids is a non-profit
organization whose mission is to raise money and
awareness for pediatric cancer research. In this
country, more children die from cancer than any other
disease. It is our goal to change that.
The organization relies on donations and fundraisers to provide research grants for childhood cancer research. Thus far, the organization has awarded $270,000 in research grants.
Childhood cancer research not only benefits children, but adults as well. Many of the advancements in childhood cancer have contributed to the field of adult cancer research as well. Such treatments as chemotherapy and bone marrow transplants were first developed for children and now save hundreds of thousands of adult lives every year.
