Message from Pediatric Cancer Foundation

As PCF has moved into its 50th year, we are feeling deeply appreciative for the 50 years of support we have received from donors and volunteers near and far. It is this support that has allowed PCF to be on the front lines in the fight against pediatric cancer and allowed us to play a critical role in moving survivor rates from 58% in 1970 to an 80% cure rate due to major treatment advances and clinical trials.

In celebration of accomplishments made over the last 50 years, we proudly launch our new logo that truly reflects our emphasis on supporting cutting edge research that aims to usher in cures. Over the coming months, you will continue to see this new image reflected in all of our communications that will honor 50 years of commitment while taking a modern approach to our messaging and mission.

Unfortunately, COVID-19 has not spared the pediatric cancer community. Patient surgeries and doctor appointments have been cancelled. Treatments have been halted or altered. Clinical trials have been put on hold. Chemotherapy and radiation facilities are bare staffed and running out of essential protective equipment. Researchers and staff have been redeployed or have been mandated to scale down. Federal funding accessible to hospitals, is primarily being allocated to adult facilities.

PCF will continue to support the researchers and hospitals that need us now more than ever. Cancer remains a formidable enemy – an enemy that unfortunately will remaiin after COVID-19 has long gone. And, because of your generous support PCF will remain on the front lines, where we have always been.

While there will not be a live celebration of our 50th year, we look forward to seeing you at digital events we are planning for the coming months that will connect our community. Until then, please take care and be well.

Childhood Cancer Awareness from Pediatric Cancer Foundation

FOR MORE THAN 45 YEARS,

Pediatric Cancer Foundation has been funding game-changing research and providing hope for children and their families. We also fund patient treatment and endow world-class hospitals and oncologists with the equipment they need to save lives and improve patient care.

Statistics


Cancer is the leading cause of non-accidental deaths in children.

About 11,050 children in the United States under the age of 15 will be diagnosed with cancer in 2020.

All types of childhood cancers combined receive only 4% of the U.S. federal funding for cancer research.

Cure rate for
pediatric cancer:

1975 – 20%
Today – 80%

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

Because of major treatment advances in recent
decades, there has been a huge increase
in the 5-Year Survival Rate:

mid-1970’s – 58%
Today – 80+%

PCF Supports 7 Leading Research Hospitals:

New York-Presbyterian Morgan Stanly Children's Hospital - Columbia University Medical Center memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center NYU Langone Medical Center Feinstein Institute for Medial Research - Northwell Health Maria Fareri Children's Hospital The University of Chicago Medicine Comer Children's Hospital Mt. Sinai

Pediatric Cancer Foundation

Pediatric Cancer Foundation (PCF) is a non-profit charitable organization dedicated to eradicating childhood cancer by raising funds for groundbreaking research and early phase clinical trials conducted by world renowned doctors at the hospitals we support. This critical early phase funding is a stepping stone to later stage, larger institutional funding and is instrumental in providing novel treatments and potential cures.
