Children with cancer are counting on us — and on you.
While pediatric cancer is among the leading causes of death by disease in children, it receives only a fraction of research funding. The federal government allocates less than 4% of its annual cancer research budget to childhood cancer- less than $3 per child.
That means nearly half of all pediatric cancer research depends on private support from organizations like the Pediatric Cancer Research Foundation (PCRF).
To address this urgent need, PCRF is advancing a bold, national strategy built around three core priorities: Powering Research, Equitable Care, and Survivorship & Mental Health. Together, these priorities drive life-saving research forward, expand access to care, and improve quality of life for survivors.
Research is at the cornerstone of everything we do. From new research ideas for cures to less toxic treatments, we are at the forefront of finding the answers to pediatric cancer.
Progress in pediatric cancer care while ensuring all kids everywhere have access to the medical, psychological, and social care they need, regardless of race, ethnicity, age, socioeconomic status, or geographic location.
The effects of a cancer diagnosis on a child can have a lasting impact. PCRF is investing in supporting pediatric cancer survivors and their mental health before, during and after treatment.
According to the Coalition Against Childhood Cancer, only approximately $220 Million goes to children’s research out of an annual $5 Billion cancer research budget.
