Mission: The Kids Cancer Foundation is a 501 ( c ) ( 3 ) non-profit charity whose mission is to provide hope and support to local children and families battling childhood cancer and/or blood disorders. We accomplish this by providing compassionate, easily accessible supportive care services. We educate families about their child's diagnosis and treatment as well as provide the physical, emotional and financial support these children and families need throughout this difficult journey. We work collaboratively with the medical team and coordinate local, state and national resources to ensure the needs of our young patients and families are met. This coordination of education and support is critical, as it has been shown to increase both a child's quality of life and overall chance for survival.
