Founded in 1982 by physicians, parents and community leaders, Pediatric Cancer Research Foundation (PCRF) has raised over $47 Million for cancer research. This represents the persistent hard work of physicians, researchers, volunteers, staff and community partners who are dedicated to the health of our future generation—our children. Our mission has expanded over the course of time: We identify and fund leading edge researchers that promises the best hope for a cure of childhood cancer. At the Pediatric Cancer Research Foundation, our vision continues to be – Eliminate childhood cancer through leading edge research. PCRF is a pioneer in fighting pediatric cancer. Since our inception, through our funding of emerging research we have made a positive impact in improving childhood cancer survival rates from 10% to over 80%. Breakthrough research has helped improve cancer survival rates more dramatically for children than for any other age group. However, there are still childhood cancers that have not had the same results – many aggressive cancers continue to devastate families and rob children of their childhoods. There is still much to be done and our sense of urgency is greater than ever. 0 m Raised for Pediatric Cancer Research 0 Annual Grants 0 years of Saving Lives Highest Possible Rating This means we are a charity you can trust.

There are nearly as many ways to help save children from childhood cancer as there are types of cancer that they need to be saved from. Did you know that a child and their family receive a heartbreaking cancer diagnosis every two minutes? Approximately 300,000 children under age 19 are diagnosed with cancer each year, and that of the lucky ones who survive, two-thirds suffer from long-lasting chronic conditions as a result of the treatment that saved them? The doctors and researchers who work with PCRF are fighting to change this. PCRF fights to find a cure. Fights for survivors of pediatric cancer to live a life free from debilitating health problems caused by treatments. That’s why we need your support. Pediatric cancer research is notoriously underfunded and these children are desperately in need of champions like you. In the world of pediatric cancer, there is much work to be done and everyone can be a part of the solution. Everyone has something to give! PCRF makes it easy for you to contribute.
