Thanks. Your donations are saving children
Curing Kids Cancer is funding some of the world's most innovative and promising treatments for pediatric cancers. But without your participation in our programs - Coaches Curing Kids' Cancer and Teachers Curing Kids' Cancer - none of this would be possible.

Curing Kids’ Cancer funds key pediatric research at top hospitals and laboratories around the nation including:
Aflac Cancer and Blood Disorders Unit at Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta: Curing Kids’ Cancer has a goal of endowing the clinical research office at the Aflac Cancer Center. Killian Owen – the inspiration for Curing Kids’ Cancer – was treated at the Aflac Center, which has been recognized as one of the top children’s cancer centers by U.S. News and World Report.

“ The Aflac Clinical Research Office would not be able to offer clinical trials for rare cancers without the continued support of Curing Kids Cancer.”

Dr. Howard Katzenstein
Director of Clinical Research and Innovative Therapy at the Aflac Cancer Center.
University of Maryland: A $40,000 grant was awarded to the University of Maryland for ground-breaking research being conducted by Dr. Curt Civin and Dr. Dr. Xiaochun Chen. The research involves involves recently discovered “microRNAs,” tiny snippets of RNA (ribonucleic acid) that until recently were thought of merely as “molecular sawdust.” In fact, Dr. Civin’s research shows that by replacing or increasing the microRNAs in leukemia cells they can be prevented from reproducing and eventually they die off.

“ Curing Kids’ Cancer has taken bold action in 2 ways- 1 - Funding an exciting but risky "early" idea that we will now be able to develop more fully, and 2 - Aiding the development of a new cancer researcher. I hope and believe that both these investments will pay large dividends for many years of Curing Kid's Cancers.”

Children's Medical Center/University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas – in 2009 Curing Kids’ Cancer provided a grant to Dr. Patrick Leavey and his team for their innovative research into Ewings Sarcoma.

Ongoing support for research was also provided in 2009 for Palmetto Health Children's Hospital, Columbia, S.C. and Levine Children's Hospital, Charlotte, N.C.
