Currently, less money is spent each year on childhood cancer research than the cost of one big-name Hollywood movie or a weekend take at the box office for the top five films that week. The American Cancer Society spends a small portion of its fundraising dollars on childhood cancer. So all the Relay for Life programs that involve kids in schools, while wonderful, give very little to pediatric research or the post-treatment support needed for young survivors. Other groups who are not so well known focus only on childhood cancer fundraising: Curesearch, the outreach arm of the Children’s Oncology Group, St. Baldrick’s Foundation, Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation, National Pediatric Research Foundation and other smaller organizations across the country.
