Where does my donation go?
Straight to the families who need it, with as little as possible spent along the way.
Kids with Cancer Society is completely community funded. Your gift supports the programs and services we provide to children with cancer and their families, free of charge, through treatment, survivorship, and bereavement.
Programs
Giving families the tools to cope with the demands of treatment, and keeping disruption and stress at home to a minimum.
Research
Outcomes for children with cancer need to improve, today and for the future. Funds support the research infrastructure that makes that possible.
Operating Costs
A tight-knit staff and a gang of volunteer superheroes keep our operating costs to a minimum, so more of every dollar reaches families.
Volunteer opportunities
Some of the biggest impacts happen behind the scenes.
Every fundraising event, community initiative, and family program offered by Kids with Cancer Society is made possible by people who choose to give their time. Our volunteers help create the support system that children and families facing childhood cancer depend on, ensuring that programs, services, and moments of connection remain available when they are needed most.
Whether you’re welcoming guests at an event, helping with administrative projects, or supporting a fundraising initiative, your contributions help strengthen our mission and make a lasting difference in the lives of local families.
