Families never receive a bill from St. Jude for treatment, travel, housing or food – because all a family should worry about is helping their child live. Treatments invented at St. Jude have helped push the overall childhood cancer survival rate from 20% to more than 80% since it opened more than 50 years ago. St. Jude is working to drive the overall survival rate for childhood cancer to 90%, and we won’t stop until no child dies from cancer. St. Jude freely shares the discoveries we make, and every child saved at St. Jude means doctors and scientists worldwide can use that knowledge to save thousands more children.

We reduce deaths from breast cancer by providing access to screening, diagnostics and treatment services for all women.

The Rose addresses any barrier that might keep a woman from caring for her own needs. Studies show women often put personal needs on hold while tending to the needs of others. Many women cite costs and lack of access as reasons they delay preventive services. Yet early detection mammography screenings are the most powerful weapons in the fight against breast cancer—which is 98% curable when detected early.

Every service offered by The Rose is available to the uninsured through one of many sponsorship programs. In fact, the whole purpose of the Empower Her® Sponsorship Program is to ensure any woman has access to breast cancer screening, diagnosis and care. From the initial screening mammogram through diagnostic procedures such as ultrasound and biopsies, as well as access to treatment—all are part of the quality breast health care offered at The Rose.

Because every woman deserves The Rose. Every woman deserves quality breast health care.

Abby's Joy is a 501(c)3 Non-Profit created to assist families battling DIPG and partner with organizations that do the same. 

At Abby's Joy, our primary focus is our families. DIPG is a devastating diagnosis that statistically has 0% survival rate, although there are some patients defying these numbers. Our organization was born out of the pain and tragedy of DIPG taking our youngest daughter, Abigail Lynn Bramlett (Forever 6), from us on June 25, 2019 after battling this beast for a year. Our pain has been turned into purpose assuring parents, family members, and friends have the right tools and support to walk this challenging road with just a bit of relief. That relief could come in the form of not having to worry about a bill being paid, or having to take off from work to be with your child because they are literally fighting to live. This relief could look like helping to make a dream come true or ease the burden of end of life expenses. We are also available for one on one conversations to talk out any and all of the "it's not fair, scary, this shouldn't be happening" thoughts that inevitably enter the minds of anyone associated with a DIPG diagnosis. We have very lofty goals for this foundation including our website that is an ever evolving entity with newest possible treatments from all over the world, comfort and support measures, step by step instructions/suggestions for different steps of this journey and a place to listen to those of us who have walked this road. We come to the aid of DIPG families selected by our Board of Directors in the form of monthly grants.  We are working on information packets to be distributed throughout hospitals for new DIPG families, One goal is to provide connection and distraction for both patients and families through advance communication technology (this is a work in progress). We are working on a YouTube channel that will hold inspirational content or just a place to hear "You're not alone".  All of our board members and staff are strictly volunteers. All of our family support comes from generous donors like you! We host multiple fundraisers throughout the year

DIPG is a path no one ever chooses. It is thrust upon us with sometimes little warning and very little time. While modern medicine searches for a cure or even a viable treatment, Abby's Joy is here to help navigate the "til then" moments.  

THANK YOU for taking time to hear us.

b-present Foundation is a nonprofit focused on ensuring every adolescent and young adult with cancer feels connected and supported

The b-present Foundation is a nonprofit inspired by and founded in memory of 20 year-old Kirsten Westerman, who lost her 7 month battle with leukemia in 2016. Our work focuses on improving social support so adolescents and young adults (AYAs) with cancer between the ages of 15-39, and their communities of support, stay connected and are supported throughout treatment and beyond. b-present approaches this important work from two angles: preventative and supportive. Creating awareness and providing the support network with tangible tools and guidance to navigate their support experience are vital first steps to preserving and sustaining that important community of support.

Our preventative work builds awareness about social support challenges before the point of diagnosis. This is done through our education to the general public about how to create and nurture positive relationships, how to respond to a friend diagnosed with cancer and how to be most supportive in the event it happens. We use digital tools such as our website, blog, social media, email newsletter and podcast to provide this proactive education to the general public.

Our supportive work comes after a diagnosis. With so many competing interests and responsibilities, the young adult community struggles to show up how and when they are needed. We address this with informational resources such as our webinar series and supporter roadmap, opening the door to important conversations and providing a clear guide for how to support a diagnosed friend. In addition, our Award Winning digital b-there tool helps patients and their support network communicate and stay connected 24/7 from anywhere. Together these resources improve understanding and ease the burden of requesting and offering support. 

b-present actively engages with the national AYA community of survivors, supporters, health professionals, researchers and nonprofits. These collaborative relationships allow the diverse needs of the AYA population to stay top of mind. B-present leads monthly meetings with western hospital AYA coordinators, hosts annual community workshops to discuss support gaps, partners with researchers to study the barriers to social support, and starting in 2022 will host an annual AYA Innovation Conference in San Diego to bring together the community and brainstorm solutions that improve social support.

The LIVESTRONG Foundation fights to improve the lives of people affected by cancer now.

We have a Mission Question, not a Mission Statement, because we believe that we can only achieve the best solutions through asking the right questions.

Special Love's mission is to provide a community of support for children with cancer and their families.

For nearly 40 years, Special Love has provided a strong, nurturing environment for children with cancer and their families through its free camps and get-away weekends. We have also offered emergency financial assistance,  educational scholarships for young adults who have beaten cancer and are ready to move on with their lives, and scholarships for their siblings.

Special Love’s Camp Fantastic is a protocol within the National Cancer Institute and a recognized charity within the National Institutes of Health

Since its inception in 1983, children have come from the Washington metropolitan area, as well as from areas across the country through partnerships with the National Cancer Institute and Mid-Atlantic area hospitals.  

Each year, Special Love serves hundreds of children, families, and young adults, and receives no government funding.  All operating funds are provided by individual, corporate, and foundation donors. Children who participate in and benefit from Special Love's programs range in age from 7-17 years of age, and young survivors ages 18-30 years of age.

~Camp Fantastic – is held at the Northern Virginia 4-H Center located in Front Royal, Virginia; and welcomes more than 100 children each year who are actively in treatment, or survivors up to 5 years past treatment as they adjust to their “new normal.”   Campers range in age from 7 to 17.
~BRASS Camp and BRASS Weekend – stands for BRothers And SiSters.  BRASS is designed specifically for the siblings of our patients, as well as bereaved siblings.  BRASS offers them a place for open, honest dialog with other campers and counselors to ensure they too are enveloped in a strong support system where they can put the family trauma of cancer away to spend time being a kid, with the focus completely on them. 
~Family Weekends – a weekend getaway experience for the whole family that provides patients, families, survivors, and bereaved families the opportunity to join together and share what they have learned with each other on their cancer journey. These weekends also provide quality family time, which is scare during a cancer journey, and patients, survivors and families the opportunity to discuss how they are coping, or have coped; and why, even at the darkest times, there is room for joy.
~Parents Getaway Weekend – is a weekend solely for the parents of patients and survivors who are 30 years old or younger and still live at home, as well as bereaved parents.  The weekend is planned for parents, by parents to provide them with a safe place to share and support one another in a small group setting; and as an outlet to deal with the facts of cancer individually, and ultimately regain a sense of control.  The weekend welcomes parents of recently diagnosed patients as well, offering them a new community of support they will need on their child’s cancer journey.
Parents Weekend also provides the parents with spa-caliber treatment options such as massages, yoga, and make-up makeovers; as well as local activities and shopping, along with a Saturday night dinner dance.  All things they no longer have time to enjoy.

VOICE (Virtual Online In-Hospital Camp Experience
In 2020, when the nation shut-down due to the COVID19 pandemic, Special Love developed and launched VOICE (Virtual Online In-home Camp Experience) within two weeks to continue its mission of providing a community of support for the children and their families. The pandemic was not going to stop us, knowing the added turmoil the pandemic would make in the lives of families already dealing with the unthinkable heartache of childhood cancer, and children with cancer would feel even more isolated and alone. 
VOICE began with virtual campfires, fun short videos and small ways to stay connected, and as the pandemic continued, grew to include a virtual BRASS Camp for the patient’s siblings, offering an entire month of fun activities. That was soon followed by a week-long virtual Camp Fantastic, which brought all the joy of “camp” to not only campers confined at home, but those in the hospital as well. Each day started with morning assembly, and ended with virtual cabin chats. 
Prior camp, each camper was sent a “Camp in a Box” kit packed with everything they needed to participate in every activity.  
As the pandemic continued, VOICE grew into a twice monthly program reaching children across the country, and the Atlantic Ocean, and in the isolation of hospital rooms.


Emergency Financial Relief Program
A cancer diagnosis changes every aspect of a family’s life. Next to the well-being of a child, a parent’s most pressing concern is often financial.

Special Love provides emergency financial relief to families who have participated Special Love’s programming, as well as other families dealing with a child’s cancer. Assistance helps with non-medical financial needs such as utilities, rent and mortgage, as well as auto repair and payment and assisting in laying a child to rest.  

In 2020, Special Love experienced twice the number of requests than in previous years, and not only assisted with funeral expenses, but helped one young man keep the dream of a future family alive by paying the cost for storage of his sperm while he undergoes cancer treatment. 

Educational Scholarships for Cancer Survivors
Childhood cancer leaves families with debt, and some survivors with learning challenges that may make it difficult to attend, or get into a college or other post-secondary educational institution and trade schools.  Each year, Special Love provides 35 to 40 educational scholarships to young cancer survivors who have participated in Special Love’s programs to assist with books, housing, and tuition.

Special Love’s young scholarship recipients have endured challenges and heartache during their treatments and move on with their lives by exhibiting great courage and strength.  All have determined not to let cancer define them, or limit their futures.

Sofia's Hope was inspired by the life and death of Sofia Blanco at the age of thirteen.  And it is because of her and the over 17,000 children in the U.S. diagnosed every year with cancer that we will fight cancer by:

Raising childhood cancer awareness and the fact that children are dying every day waiting for promising new treatments;

Funding childhood cancer research and advances in treatment, especially as it relates to their long-term effects (including prevention, detection and treatment); and

Offering programs that enhance the quality of life of children with cancer.

KPSNA Charitable Foundation, Inc.

CFFNM was established by a group of oncologists in response to the unique needs of cancer patients throughout northern New Mexico.

It was discovered that some patients, once diagnosed with cancer, were forgoing treatment because they couldn’t afford the costs associated with travel to and from the treatment center located in Santa Fe. Despite programs being available to cover medical expenses, it was the non-medical costs that posed the greatest barriers – like the ability to pay for gas or overnight lodging, especially when treatment is administered over a period of days or weeks.

The solution to this heartbreaking problem was to establish an organization with the capacity to identify and mitigate the obstacles to treatment faced by so many northern New Mexico residents. The Cancer Foundation for New Mexico was created specifically to address the overlooked, but critically important, needs of financially-challenged cancer patients and their families.

The Cancer Foundation for New Mexico has expanded its services from mileage reimbursement and overnight lodging to include the distribution of grocery cards, a growing network of support groups, and a team of trained volunteers to assist patients during treatment. The number of patients that seek out our services also continues to grow, and in 2019, we supported a record number of 28,000 patient visits.

We are the only local organization providing this level of support to cancer patients throughout northern New Mexico. A small staff and dedicated team of volunteers work together with the local medical community to increase awareness, identify patient needs, and administer services. We receive no state or federal funding and all money that we raise stays here in our local community.

No patient who qualifies for our assistance is turned away.

The Childhood Cancer Project in a nonprofit, 501(c)3 which funds rare, child and adolescent cancer research, established in 2017.


Cancer is the leading cause of death by disease for children in the U.S.
Survival rates can vary depending on the type of cancer.
About 420,000 childhood cancer survivors live in the U.S., with many more around the world.

Cancer is bad enough. But when it affects a child, it is particularly devastating. Because kids deserve a chance to experience life. To laugh and have fun. To be amazed and to dream. To grow up. 

Every year, there are over 250,000 new cases of cancer that affect children under the age of 20 worldwide, that's over 700 kids diagnosed with cancer every single day. Despite this, childhood cancer research is severely underfunded. 

Unfortunately, we can't count on federal funding to help kids with cancer. Not only has there been an alarming decrease in budgets, but less than 4% of the NCI's federal funding goes towards research for all childhood cancers, combined. 


The Childhood Cancer Project is committed to funding rare child, adolescent, and young adult cancer research and to the development of more effective and less toxic treatments for cancer’s youngest warriors. 

Please help us "Develop Cures" and "Deliver Hope."

Lung Cancer Research Foundation

The Chordoma Foundation works to improve the lives of those affected by chordoma and lead the search for a cure.

Historically, the outlook for individuals affected by chordoma was not good. Even with the best care possible, only a minority of patients could be cured, and virtually no research was being done to develop better treatments. Moreover, patients and caregivers faced myriad challenges and had nowhere to turn for support.

The Chordoma Foundation was started to change that. To achieve our vision, we strategically invest in three mutually reinforcing programmatic areas that support our three core goals: research, patient services, and healthcare improvement.

With tens of billions of dollars spent on cancer research every year, a small foundation like ours cannot hope to have the impact we aspire to by conducting business as usual. That’s why we’re re-engineering the way research is done, to make the process faster and more efficient through:

Shared resources: Such as tumor tissue, cell lines, and mouse models that we make available to hundreds of researchers worldwide at no cost;

Parallel processing: Of chordoma and other types of cancer in large-scale research projects;

Focused investments: In projects identified as top priorities by the research community;

Incentives: That drive investment in chordoma research by scientists (e.g., prizes) and companies (e.g., viable path to orphan drug status);

Economies of Scale: That centralize commonly performed experiments to eliminate redundant investments and reduce time and costs; and

Collaboration: Between doctors, scientists, and companies with complementary interest, capabilities, and resources to carry out projects that none could do alone.

Over the past fourteen years, the Foundation has grown into the leading funder of chordoma research, an efficient catalyst for chordoma drug development, and a dependable source of information and support for thousands of patients and their loved ones across the world.

Despite long odds, the support, involvement, and generosity of our many friends and partners has fueled progress that is virtually unprecedented for a rare cancer, and helped fundamentally change what once was a lonely and bewildering journey for many chordoma patients. Together we have leveled the playing field for chordoma by:

Eliminating many of the obstacles that once stood in the way of research – such as lack of tissue, disease models, coordination among researchers;

Engaging hundreds of scientists worldwide to bring their expertise to bear on behalf of chordoma;

Applying powerful new technologies – like CRISPR, single-cell sequencing, and DNA-encoded chemical libraries – to the discovery of therapies that exploit chordoma’s unique vulnerabilities;

Accelerating the pace at which therapies developed for other cancers can be tested in the lab and brought to clinical trials for chordoma patients; and

Initiating seven new chordoma-specific clinical trials.

For the first time, there is now a credible path to making chordoma a manageable disease — to treatments that don’t just slow the disease down, but that have a real chance of enabling patients to get on with their lives. With adequate investment, these treatments are years, not decades away.    

This is a profoundly significant opportunity for everyone whose life has been disrupted by chordoma. And it’s an opportunity that doesn’t come along often in the world of oncology.   

Chordoma is a solvable problem. You can be part of the solution.

Your donation will accelerate cures and provide hope to those facing chordoma today.

Children's Cancer Cause is the Voice of Children with Cancer

Our mission: A long, healthy life for every child with cancer.

Children’s Cancer Cause is dedicated to monitoring, advocating and disseminating information about vital national issues facing children with cancer and their families. We are supported by corporate and foundation grants as well as caring friends and families. Our efforts focus on the day when childhood cancer will no longer be the leading disease killer of our children.

Childhood cancer remains the leading cause of death by disease for our nation’s children, and the health and well-being of childhood cancer survivors remains too fragile. Children’s Cancer Cause will continue to press for progress for national policies that can give our children access to the most effective therapies and can normalize their lives as they grow.

Founded in 1999, Children’s Cancer Cause was established to take a leadership role in advocacy and training on national issues affecting childhood cancer. We act as a catalyst to stimulate pediatric drug discovery and development and to help ensure care for our nation’s 500,000 survivors of childhood and adolescent cancer. 

We work closely with leaders in the National Cancer Institute, the Food and Drug Administration, Congress and the pharmaceutical industry to make a difference in the pace and efficiency of getting new treatments to children. We fill a strategic national gap, by advancing policy and system improvements with a sense of urgency from families and survivors that childhood cancer must be eradicated.

Programs and services provided by Children’s Cancer Cause include:

•	Webinars: www.childrenscancercause.org/webinars 
•	Advocacy Toolkit to help new advocates get started: www.childrenscancercause.org/toolkit 
•	Kids Action Network (KAN) of empowered grassroots advocates: www.childrenscancercause.org/kan 
•	Surveys and focus groups to help inform our policy work and amplify the voice of kids with cancer on issues such as drug development and the pandemic’s impact:  www.childrenscancercause.org/blog/aya-financial-strain  
•	Legislative Action Center to contact Members of Congress on issues affecting kids with cancer: www.childrenscancercause.org/actioncenter
