Fighting for Kids. Fueling the Cure.
Every year, thousands of children are diagnosed with cancer—a reality no family should have to face. Pediatric cancers are often aggressive, complex, and underfunded compared to adult cancers. Treatments can be harsh, lengthy, and life-altering, impacting not just the child, but their entire family.
At Kicking Kids’ Cancer, we’re on a mission to change that.
WHY IT MATTERS
Childhood cancer is the leading cause of disease-related death in children in the United States. Despite this, less than 4% of federal cancer research funding is allocated specifically to pediatric cancers. That means children are depending on organizations like ours—and supporters like you—to step in, raise awareness, and fund the future of pediatric cancer care.
DID YOU KNOW?
Cancer is the leading cause of death by disease in children under 15
In the last 20 years, only 3 cancer medications have been specifically approved for children
The average age of a child diagnosed with cancer is only 6 years old
For 80% of children, cancer has already spread to other areas of the body before it is diagnosed
