Combating Childhood Cancer

  • Cancer is the #1 disease killing children

  • More children die from Cancer each year than Aids, Diabetes, Cystic Fibrosis and Asthma combined.

  • 10,000 children are diagnosed every year

  • 3000 children die of Cancer every year


 

Childhood Cancer consists of a group of diseases with widely different outlooks for cure. A child's future depends on such variables as the age of the child, the attitude of the child, the support of family and friends, and many other factors. Cancer remains a dreaded disease for people of all ages and one that seems especially grim when it claims children as its victims.
 

By supporting our organization through donations, sponsorships and volunteering, you will be directly reaching out to children and families who have fallen prey to thess debilitating diseases. Each and every contribution counts, and is vital to the continued growth of our organization. Your assistance helps us to sustain our mission of enhancing the quality of life for countless disadvantaged children and promoting children’s health through direct financial and in-kind assistance, advocacy, and support and referral services.
