PCRF is run by a small group of totally dedicated people backed by a large pool of volunteers. Their grants have provided funding for some of the most cutting edge developments in childrens' cancer therapies today & the results of their research are evident in the increased survival rates we now see. Despite PCRF's small size they manage to put on multiple large functions every year by working long hours with great effeciency; the goal is to get the money to where it does the most good! I am a doner, a volunteer & a benefeciary as my son was diagnosed with ALL 23 years ago at age 4 & has been cancer free for 14 years.

If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...
have an enormous impact on the diversity of grants it could fund; cancer has so many facets & therapies have to be designed specifically for each one
Ways to make it better...
we had more room to handle all the card program requirements.
In my opinion, the biggest challenges facing this organization are...
Continuing to expand their outreach & develop different opportunities to involve people who haven't experienced childhood cancer in their own lives.

My husband and I feel very good about donating to the Pediatric Cancer Research Foundation. It's easy to feel powerless against pediatric cancer, but the Foundation gives you an option to make a positive change. We love the cards, too.

I was introduced to PCRF almost 20 years ago when my husband was a board member. The growth and commitment of the volunteers has been amazing to watch. I have never seen such a great group of people work so hard and by example attract so many new volunteers who tirelessly work to improve the lives of children with cancer. I am in awe of progress the doctors around the world have made with the help of PCRF.

What a great organization. Bringing together the community to help in the fight against this terrible disease as well as creating an extended family for those who are in the midst of the illness. From my youngest (4 years) to myself (30 something) we will always be supporters.

Having a child with a life threatening illness is every parent's nightmare. PCRF is an awesome foundation that helps families during their time of need. When my friend's grandson was diagnosed with cancer, PCRF was there for them. With the foundation's support and the grace of God, he now lives an active life.

Any group that attacks childhood cancer gets an A+ in my book. It is so sad that in this day and age that so many kids have to fight the ultimate fight...the fight for their life. Without the help of PCRF many families would be helpless, lost in the crazy world of cancer all while trying to keep their happy face on for their child. My hat goes off to all involved and I was pleased that I had a chance to help out...even in a small way at their last run. The run was so inspirational and uplifting and it was the most well run 10k I have participated in.

I was introduced to PCRF thru a friend whose cousin was a patient that had been helped by them. I was so inspired by their stories that I began walking in their 5k race. The week of the 2008 walk, I was dianosed with breast cancer. It was an emotional day time but I knew I had to help raise awareness. Thank you PCRF for doing everything that you do.
The Great!
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
the happy and productive lives of the children that are here today because of them.
