CURE Childhood Cancer

Founded in 1975, CURE is dedicated to conquering childhood cancer through funding targeted research while supporting patients and their families. Research is the key to unlocking breakthroughs that will save the lives of children diagnosed with cancer. In the past ten years, CURE has invested $35 million in innovative research at leading pediatric cancer research institutions across the nation. Our highest priority is our focus on precision medicine, treatment targeted at tumor-driving genes, which is already yielding significant results for children with recurrent and hard-to-treat cancers. The second part of our mission is to support families devastated by a childhood cancer diagnosis through programs designed to meet a family's emotional, practical, and financial needs quickly and appropriately. CURE serves meals in the hospital, provides emergency financial assistance, offers professional counseling, and other services designed to lighten the load of patients and their families.
