Message from Pediatric Cancer Foundation President
I hope that everyone is doing well during these uncertain and straining times. While I’m sure it’s not at the forefront of anyone’s mind right now, the following upcoming events must be postponed indefinitely. The Cards for a Cure event, the sixth grade party fun- raiser at Purchase Community House and our October Gala are currently being put on pause.
We value everyone’s support of Pediatric Cancer Foundation, your friendship and your long-standing commitment. Please stay home as much as possible and stay safe and healthy.
Wishing everyone only the best,
Lauren Robinson, President

Statistics
Cancer is the leading cause of non-accidental deaths in children.
About 10,380 children in the United States under the age of 15 will be diagnosed with cancer in 2016.
All types of childhood cancers combined receive only 4% of the U.S. federal funding for cancer research.

pediatric cancer:

While some diagnoses have good cure
rates, others have significantly less positive
outcomes. Our goal is to find a cure for
every child.
