Our family has been blessed to have been involved with Rally Foundation since its inception. Once our daughter was diagnosed with childhood cancer, we wanted to support Rally to help fund critical research to discover better treatments, possible cures and decreased long-term side effects for kids fighting cancer. It has been an honor to work alongside such a passionate group of folks who are committed to their mission. I am continually encouraged by the commitment Rally makes to make sure that 93 cents of every dollar goes directly to fund the cause - childhood cancer research. This should make anyone that supports Rally feel confident their donation is being efficiently utilized. Children and families around the world have benefited from the research Rally funds. I am proud to claim that Rally Foundation is where my time and effort is directed. Thank you and Rally On!

I have supported a lot of charities in the past but my attention turned to Childhood Cancer when my son was diagnosed. What I like about Rally Foundation is that it funds research which is very needed in this space, but really they are 100% dedicated to their mission and what I like most about it is how much of the donation that is given goes to the mission. They are very frugal and good stewards of the money donated and they make sure that most of it goes to make their mission even more impactful. In my involvement around the country in Childhood Cancer advocacy, they are well known, well respected, and everybody wants to work with them. They make a difference on the national stage. If you are looking for the greatest impact for the money you give look no further!

Rally Foundation is the most incredible nonprofit I have encountered. They have made such a difference in the lives of families affected by childhood cancer, from raising millions of dollars for cancer research to personally walking the families through treatment. I am honored to support them in any way I can.

We discovered the Rally foundation in September of 2022 after attending a vigil. I had recently entered back into the working world after taking a year off to be with my daughter as she fought AML Leukemia as an infant. Rally provided community, support, resources and a means to give back. I'm so appreciative for what they've provided to our family!

This is my first year being actively involved with Rally but I have had many years of admiration prior to getting the opportunity to be involved. My story is full circle as I used to be a child life specialist at Children's Healthcare of Atlanta, where a lot of my patients were Rally Kids. Fast forward many years and I have had the opportunity to serve as the President of the Young Professionals group. It is rare that effort and service are tangible - so I count my experience as unique and a blessing that we get to see how impactful our work is with Rally. Hearing the stories of families and researchers that Rally's mission has been a part of is very humbling and inspiring. Rally is truly changing the trajectory for pediatric cancer treatment and how it affects patients and families. I could not be more ecstatic to be a part of such a mission.

Rally continues to support our family in more ways than we can count! They’ve sat with us in the hospital with our daughter, encouraged us when we’ve had heartbreaking news, and celebrated with us when we’ve had victories. More than anything, we will always cherish the smiles and memories we’ve created with Rally while fighting childhood cancer.

Rally Foundation has been such a blessing to our family through my son’s cancer diagnosis. When he was diagnosed I wanted to connect with a charity that I knew could make a difference in the fight against childhood cancer, and Rally was that choice. They welcomed us with open arms and have helped us navigate a path people should never have to travel. They are dedicated to finding better treatments with fewer long term side effects. They get to know the cancer families and they really want to fight for us and our children. We are so grateful to be involved with such a wonderful organization that is moving the needle in the right direction for childhood cancer research.

I have been involved with different non-profit organizations over the years and no one can compete with Rally! They are an amazing organization that I have been involved with since their inception. The Rally story is amazing and truly a grass roots start! I love all they do to raise awareness for childhood cancer which is severely under funded. In addition, they love and support Rally families in a way that I personally have never witnessed before.

I also know firsthand given that I was diagnosed with a childhood cancer at the age of 37, how incredibly hard it is on kids and their families when they have to go through treatments! It does not just affect the child diagnosed but their moms, dads and siblings. Chemo treatments were hard at 37...I can't imagine being a child and going through it. Our kids deserve better treatment options in addition to researching cures and Rally is on a mission to make that happen!!

I will always support Rally until childhood cancer no longer in existence and will continue to pray for every family who hears their child has cancer.

Rally has been a part of my life for many years now and I’m so proud of the work you do. My granddaughter was diagnosed around 12 years ago and Rally was there for her and her family from the beginning and still supports them today. To get to witness the love and kind spirit from this organization is overwhelming. Thank you Rally.

Our son was diagnosed with Burkitt's Lymphoma in fifth grade, and we were thrown into a world that we didn't really know existed, or had not experienced. During his treatment process, a clinical trial was presented to us whereby he could forego the last round of chemotherapy. We were hesitant (Of course! Chemotherapy is the cure!), but agreed, and as it turned out the trial was correct and the last round was unnecessary in most cases. One last round not needed = fewer chances of side effects for him! After he completed his treatments and returned to school, we began to look for ways to become involved in raising awareness and funding for childhood cancer in some way. Mutual friends introduced us to another parent of a childhood cancer survivor, and thus began our journey with Rally Foundation! We have been involved in some capacity for more than 10 years now, and have seen Rally grow by leaps and bounds because of their leadership, organization, and pure focus. Our son is now in his mid-twenties and is involved as well! Rally's mission to provide funding for the top research projects around the world has and will continue to change the world of childhood cancer. Fewer long-term side effects and, ultimately, cures for these children is the singular focus. To us, nothing is more important than helping other families celebrate their victory as we are able to do with our son!

Our son is the survivor of a rare childhood cancer. After his treatments were finished, I had a ever-increasing desire to volunteer for an organization that helped kids with cancer along with their families. There is no doubt that our son is alive today because of a research trial just like the ones that Rally funds. This was the driving force for me to get involved with Rally. The fact that 93 cents of every dollar goes to their mission was the other deciding factor convincing me to roll up my sleeves and get involved, starting in 2010, and never ceasing since then. The Rally staff has become more like family to me - they are real, encouraging and loving, earnest in their desire to help kids with cancer have better cures with fewer side effects. I will Rally On with them and the families affected by this disease until I "earn my angel wings"! It is such an honor to give my time, efforts and money to such a top organization. I am grateful for Rally and for every child and family who has touched our families' lives since the minute I signed up our son as a Rally Kid!

I was diagnosed with cancer when I was 7 years old. The Rally staff visited me in the hospital and fun events for our families. I modeled in the Rally On the Runway show. When I was in high school, I volunteered at events. I’m in college now, and the Rally staff are still supporting me through mentoring and encouragement. Once a Rally Kid, always a Rally Kid! Rally On!

This foundation was so important to me and my family while my 4 year old son was going through cancer. They contributed so much support and joy to our cancer journey. They are an amazing foundation that serves families excellently and also help fund and perform research for cures. Doing both means so much to us as childhood cancers are not well funded by the government. They are an awesome nonprofit.

Rally Foundation was a great support for our family when my daughter was receiving treatment for leukemia. They visited us in the hospital and clinic, held events for us to have fun with our friends, and provided a place of escape from the hospital for me. Treatment is thankfully years behind us now, but the Rally staff is still in touch with my daughter and providing encouragement. We are so thankful to be a part of the Rally family!

This place is about teamwork, and genuine LOVE and CARE for all Rally kids, and it's such a powerful, radical, beautiful place. I'm also super grateful to follow them on social media because their posts are so wholesome, so family-oriented, and I love love being in the know of this beautiful foundation and be ready to pray, cheer, mourn, and believe in Rally and Rally kids.

I've been working with the Rally Foundation for a few years now, in various ways. Never have I experienced an organization with such wholehearted dedication by its community, staff, and supporters. The work Rally does touches the lives of so many and it's a true joy to see how many lives this group is impacting. Further, it's so exciting to see the advancements being made in an effort to end childhood cancer by the work of this mighty team.

I began helping with Rally over a year ago and they have made a significant difference on how we look at childhood cancer to myself, and my entire family. We are touched by the passion in which Rally takes in this cause. It is such a pleasure to help in any capacity they need me or my business. Anyone who is considering helping or donating will find the most amazing enrichment by doing so. I will continue to help with Rally Foundation for many years ahead and challenge all those who can help to help this amazing Foundation....

Rally's mission is to raise funds for childhood cancer research, and everything they do is laser-focused on that mission. The atmosphere in the office is both friendly and professional, and Rally events always have an upbeat, energetic feel. Volunteers and donors want to return again and again. In planning events and in the day to day running of the office, the Rally staff and volunteers are extremely mindful of expenses, and work hard to cut costs and solicit in-kind donations. Rally is also very purposeful when determining which research projects to fund; they want to be sure they are funding the most innovative and promising research. As a monetary donor, as well as a volunteer, I am always confident that my contributions will truly go towards their intended purpose - finding a cure for childhood cancer.

My experience with Rally started when a very dear friend's grandchild was faced with a frightening diagnosis of cancer in her first year of life. She battled the disease for 12 years, and Rally was a tremendous support to her and her family. She was an amazing little girl who touched everyone who knew her, and still does! My background is in the medical field, and I have worked with many non profit organizations---Rally is truly one of the best I have known. They work with an honesty and integrity that is rare, and their focus and dedication to their mission is commendable.

My family has seen first hand the positive impact Rally Foundation has on both childhood cancer patients and their families. Our neighbor's son bravely fought Ewing's Sarcoma and we witnessed the care and support Rally Foundation provided to his family during his battle and after his passing. Every fall, we fondly look forward to the 4 Quarters For Research football game at Pope High School where thousands of dollars are collected by enthusiastic high school students.

I am proud to be associated with The Rally Foundation!

Five years ago, Rally Foundation began as a small group of devoted volunteers with a dream of making a difference in the fight against childhood cancer. Today it has grown into a strong family of people who believe in that dream and Rally's mission and who are reaching out to help, not only the children who have the disease, but also their families. Rally has raised and donated over two million dollars to help fund research projects all over the United States.

As a mom of Will who is battling brain and spinal tumors for the third time, we are blessed to have seen Rally grow and fund over TWO MILLION Dollars in childhood cancer research in just 5 years! Rally's mission to mobilize grassroots efforts to fund research has resulted in a multitude of so many varied and fun fundraising efforts with 93 cents of every dollar being spent on research to cure our children! We have experienced firsthand how much the Rally staff and hundreds of volunteers care about all kids with cancer and how passionate they are about seeking more funding to find cures for these insidious childhood cancers. Rally offers families and volunteers unlimited opportunities for involvement and the outcome is so rewarding. If you know a child with cancer, encourage them to become a Rally kid; donate, organize a fundraiser, volunteer, pray for Rally, or share the Rally website! Rally on! Nancy O.

Rally is a fantastic organization that is working to find a cure for Childhood Cancer. I have been a team member of Rally NW for two years and will be back again because of the mission and how Rally uses the funds that are donated. There are too many organziations that put a significant amount toward "administrative" costs, but more than 90% of the funds donated go directly to the cause. That in itself is amazing.

I am privileged to have been in on the ground floor of the Rally Foundations emergence into the Pacific NW. What a great foundation to work with! The focus on pediatric cancer research is just where I want my 93% of the fundraising dollars I raise to go.
My daughter was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma in 1981 at Childrens Hospital in LA. It is 2011 and that three year old is now 33 years old and a mom. What a miracle their research provided my family. What a treat to put my feet to the pavement and be able to raised money for this cause and the power to cross the finish line with this group, you should try it!

Rally Foundation for Childhood Cancer Research is an amazing organization. I discovered them after losing my 14 year old niece to Burkitts Lymphoma. After watching a CHILD pass away, and feeling absolutely helpless, I discovered there were things I could do to help others, and Rally was the organization for me to do that through.

Here are the reasons I was initially attracted me to Rally:

They solely fund childhood cancer research.

For every dollar Rally receives, 93 cents goes to support all phases of childhood cancer research according to their audited financials. They fund research to find better treatments with fewer long-term side effects and, ultimately, cures.

They were flexible and open to all fundraiser ideas and provided the much needed support in order to be successful. Their staff is amazing!

Having lost a child in my family from cancer, the #1 disease killer of our children, Rally's mission and success means a lot. For this reason, I will continue to support Rally's efforts and will be a part of their continued growth and success!

Rally On!

I have first come in contact with the Rally Foundation in 2009 through their internship program and since then our relationship has gotten stronger and I am very honored to be part of their Board of Advisors and continue my activity with the foundation. What amazes me the most about the foundation is it's ability to mobilize people towards common goals...may those be events, activities, fundraisers, games, etc. All kinds of people moved by the same goal of participating in the fight against childhood cancer. Having lost my father at a young age to cancer I can relate to the experiences the families of the children with cancer are going through and the Rally Foundation is so instrumental in engaging the families, getting to know them and helping them in any matter. The Foundation does all these things while being a strong contributor and supporter of research against all forms of childhood cancer.
