Board of Directors

Since its inception, the Kids with Cancer Society have depended upon the commitment of volunteers for assistance in reaching its goals and objectives. For over 30 years, these volunteers, who we consider
to be the backbone of the Society, have been instrumental in developing countless programs and services that have assisted our membership throughout their battle against childhood cancer.

Our volunteer Board of Directors comprised of members of the business community, parents, and a pediatric oncologist, bring a new dimension to the Society. Through their knowledge, skills, dedication, objectivity, and compassion towards the needs of our children, we are more able to achieve the many goals and objectives that are placed before us.
