Mission

Founded in 1975, CURE Childhood Cancer is dedicated to conquering childhood cancer through research, education and support of patients and their families. CURE provides pediatric cancer educational opportunities for the general public, families of pediatric cancer patients and the staff and nurses of pediatric cancer facilities through educational symposiums and written materials. Finding a cure for pediatric cancer is CURE's number one priority. To help achieve this goal, we devote more than half of our financial resources to pediatric cancer research - including funding important basic and clinical research. CURE also offers programs and support for pediatric cancer patients and their families. We also support those "off-therapy" and bereaved families.
