Mission Statement

The Mission of the Nevada Childhood Cancer Foundation is to work side by side with the medical community to provide social, emotional, educational, and psychological support services and programs to families of ALL children who are diagnosed with a life threatening or critical illness such as cancer, HIV/AIDS, sickle cell, hemophilia, renal disorders, and other immunologic diseases. We provide comfort and support while empowering and educating families.

The only thing more tragic than having a child diagnosed with cancer or any life threatening illness is going through it without hope. With our programs and services, a child’s scared and dreary spirit can be revived with the joy of possibilities - a joy no child should live without. With your donations and support, we are able to provide hope, courage and triumph to our children and their families.

As our community grows, so do the needs of children and families. According to the National Cancer Foundation, "one in every 330 children in the United States develops cancer before the age of nineteen. Moreover, incidence of cancer among children is increasing...cancer continues to be the number one disease killer of children from the age of one year through adolescence. With your support our programs will continue and new programs can be funded.
