Powering Research

For over 43 years, the Pediatric Cancer Research Foundation (PCRF) has been at the forefront of advancing pediatric cancer treatments, but there is still urgent work to be done. Childhood cancer remains the leading cause of death by disease for children ages 1 to 14, and those who survive often face lifelong health challenges due to the toxicity of existing treatments. With federal funding for pediatric cancer research covering less than 4% of all cancer research dollars, PCRF is stepping up to fill the gap—because every child deserves the chance to not just survive but thrive.

We are committed to funding cutting-edge research that accelerates cures and minimizes the harsh side effects of treatment. By prioritizing high-risk cancers with the lowest survival rates, supporting clinical trials that bring the newest therapies to patients faster, and integrating advanced technology like AI-driven personalized treatments, we are shaping the future of pediatric cancer care. Our goal is clear: safer, more effective treatments, better outcomes, and a world where every child lives a happy, healthy and productive future.   Join us in powering the research that makes this future possible.
