Mission

Children’s Cancer Research Fund is a national nonprofit dedicated to ending childhood cancer. Our main focus is to support the research of bright scientists across the country whose ideas can make the greatest impact for children fighting cancer. We also fund resources and programs that help kids and families as they navigate the difficult experience of cancer treatment and survivorship. Since 1981, we’ve contributed over $235 million to research, support programs for children and families, and awareness and education outreach. In 2024, over 81 percent of funds raised went directly to these program services areas.
    I believe in better treatments for kids. Too many families face the fear and uncertainty of a childhood cancer diagnosis, and I refuse to accept that progress should be slow because pediatric research is underfunded. Childhood cancer deserves the urgency and investment that will lead to safer, more effective treatments and lasting hope for children and their families. Children's Cancer Research Fund backs the brilliant scientists and programs that can change outcomes for kids. They fund cutting-edge research and support services that help families through diagnosis, treatment, and survivorship. With a history of meaningful impact and a dedication to putting funds where they matter most, they are turning ideas into lifesaving advances. Progress is possible when people come together. Early funding sparks discoveries that grow into breakthroughs. By supporting this fundraiser, you join a community committed to accelerating research, reducing treatment harm, and giving more children the chance to grow up healthy and whole. Please donate today and share this page. Your gift brings hope, fuels research, and helps create brighter futures for children battling cancer.
    I believe all kids deserve better, safer treatments. As a supporter of Children's Cancer Research Fund, I am raising funds to push bold ideas forward so that fewer families have to endure the fear, pain, and long-term side effects that too often come with a childhood cancer diagnosis. Childhood cancer remains drastically underfunded, and that gap costs lives. One in five children diagnosed in the U.S. will not survive, and survivors often face years of health challenges. Breakthroughs do not happen by chance. They start with early funding for bright scientists and promising research that can lead to gentler, more effective therapies for children. Children’s Cancer Research Fund backs researchers and programs that change outcomes and support families through treatment and survivorship. Since 1981, they have invested in research and services that help children live fuller, healthier lives. By coming together now, we can accelerate discoveries that reduce suffering and create real hope for kids and parents. Please join me in supporting this vital work. Your gift will power research and programs that protect children, ease families’ burdens, and bring us closer to cures. Donate today and help turn teamwork into life-saving impact.
    I started this fundraiser because I believe in better treatments, outcomes, and lives for children facing cancer. Too many families are forced to watch their kids endure harsh therapies with uncertain futures. I want to help change that by supporting research that leads to safer, more effective treatments and programs that support children and their families through every step of this journey. Childhood cancer remains one of the most underfunded areas of cancer research. While adult cancer studies receive billions, pediatric research gets only a tiny fraction of federal support. This gap means promising ideas never get the early funding they need to grow into life-changing treatments. Children’s Cancer Research Fund focuses on funding brilliant scientists and programs that directly improve care and survivorship for kids, and I am proud to stand with them. Progress is possible, and it starts with people choosing to act. Every donation helps accelerate research that can lead to cures, reduce the long-term side effects survivors face, and give families hope. Since 1981, Children’s Cancer Research Fund has shown that focused investments can move the needle for kids and families across the country. Please join me in supporting Children’s Cancer Research Fund. Your gift, big or small, helps turn teamwork into life-saving impact for children facing cancer. Donate now and help bring brighter futures to kids everywhere.
    My name is Morgan Bosacker and I am fundraising for Children’s Cancer Research Fund because too many children and families are left fighting alone. Childhood cancer receives a tiny fraction of research funding compared with adult cancers, and that gap costs lives and long-term health for survivors. I cannot stand by while promising scientists lack the resources they need to develop safer, more effective treatments for these kids. Children’s Cancer Research Fund supports brilliant researchers and vital family programs, and their work has already changed lives. Since 1981 they have contributed millions to research, support services, and education, directly helping children through treatment and beyond. I believe early funding sparks breakthroughs that lead to cures and reduce the lifelong side effects so many young survivors face. I am asking for your support because progress is possible when we act together. Every gift helps fund new ideas, accelerate promising studies, and provide tangible support for families navigating one of the hardest journeys imaginable. Your donation is a vote for hope, for better treatments, and for brighter futures for kids fighting cancer. Please join me in supporting Children’s Cancer Research Fund. Give what you can, share this page with friends and family, and help turn teamwork into life-saving impact for children everywhere.
    I believe every child should have the chance to grow up happy and healthy. That belief is why I am fundraising for Children’s Cancer Research Fund. Childhood cancer remains dangerously underfunded, and too many families face unimaginable fear and uncertainty. I want to be part of changing that reality so kids can focus on being kids, not fighting for their lives.

When we invest in early-stage ideas, we spark breakthroughs that lead to safer, more effective treatments and brighter futures for children. Their work means fewer long-term side effects, more cures, and stronger support for families navigating treatment and survivorship. Progress is possible, but it takes people coming together. By sharing this fundraiser and giving what you can, you help accelerate research and fund programs that directly impact children and families. Every donation moves us closer to better treatments and more hope. Please join me in supporting Children’s Cancer Research Fund. Your gift will make a real difference for kids fighting cancer and the families who love them. Donate today and help turn teamwork into life-saving impact.
    I'm Sarah Kier, and I'm fundraising for the Children's Cancer Research Fund because no child should face cancer without every possible chance at better, gentler treatments and a cure. Childhood cancer research receives a tiny fraction of overall funding, yet it is where breakthroughs begin. I believe that together we can change that and give families hope when they need it most. Every donation helps fuel scientists with bold ideas who are working to discover safer, more effective therapies for children. The Children's Cancer Research Fund has a long history of supporting research and programs that make a real difference in kids' lives and in the lives of the families who care for them. When we fund research, we speed up the path from a promising discovery to treatments that children can actually receive. Beyond labs and trials, your support also helps provide resources and programs that ease the burden of treatment and survivorship for families navigating this difficult journey. The Fund’s work translates into brighter futures, less pain, and more time for kids to be kids. Please join me in supporting the Children's Cancer Research Fund. Your gift, in any amount, moves research forward and brings hope to children and families fighting cancer every day.
