The Pediatric Cancer Research Foundation (PCRF) is dedicated to identifying and investing in leading-edge research with the best hope for curing childhood cancer. Since its inception in 1982, PCRF aims to eliminate childhood cancer through research, highlighting the grave statistics that elucidate the prevalent threat of pediatric cancer globally. With over $51 million raised for cancer research and significant progress in increasing survival rates, PCRF continues its mission by funding research that promises hopeful advancements towards curing, treating, and improving the quality of life for children affected by cancer.
PCRF adopts a unique approach by working directly with doctors, researchers, and nurses to pinpoint the specific hurdles in developing and delivering new treatments for children with cancer. The grants offered focus on accelerating the process to bring the latest lifesaving treatments to the forefront for seriously ill children. With the goal of offering hope and improved treatments now and in the future, PCRF's grant programs encourage partnerships with donors to fund projects tailored to specific diseases, doctors, facilities, or awareness programs within communities or regions related to the donor or fundraising activities.
