iCAN's 2026 Summit

The International Children’s Advisory Network (iCAN) is dedicated to empowering the voices of children and young people living with chronic, rare, and complex medical conditions. Each year, our iCAN Summit brings together kids, families, researchers, healthcare professionals, and industry partners to collaborate, learn, and create meaningful change.

Our goal is to host the 2026 iCAN Summit IN PERSON, a life-changing experience where kids can share their stories, lead conversations, and make a real impact on the future of healthcare. But we need your help.

We must raise $200,000 by December 1, 2025 to make this possible. These funds will directly support:

-Travel stipends for kids and families who otherwise could not attend because of financial barriers.

-Venue, meals, accommodations, and event costs to host a truly inclusive and inspiring Summit.

The iCAN Summit is more than an event—it’s a place where young people realize their voices matter, where lifelong friendships are formed, and where the future of pediatric healthcare is shaped by those who experience it firsthand.

We can’t do this without YOU. Every donation, no matter the size, brings us closer to giving kids this life-changing platform.

Donate today and share this campaign with your friends, family, and networks.

Together, we can make the 2026 iCAN Summit a reality.

Thank you for believing in the power of kids’ voices.
