Mission Statement

Koenig Childhood Cancer Foundation (KCCF) provides life-saving financial and emotional support to children battling cancer and their families. Founded in 2020 by then-11-year-old cancer survivor Elana Koenig, KCCF has grown into a multi-million-dollar global charity dedicated to making sure no child fights alone.

Description

As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit based on the Upper East Side of Manhattan, NY our mission is driven by compassion, resilience, and action. We are 100% volunteer-run and committed to using every dollar raised to directly impact children’s lives-whether through emergency medical assistance, gift bag deliveries to hospitals, or hosting international summer camps for survivors. Volunteers are at the heart of everything we do, and we welcome people who want to make a real difference in the lives of young fighters and their families.

Volunteering with KCCF has been one of the most meaningful experiences of my life. I began volunteering with KCCF in high school, and now, five years later, I am as proud as ever to still be part of their incredible mission. KCCF is a family, operating with heart first and foremost to ensure every child, family, and volunteer is heard and supported with love. Cancer survivor and founder Elana Koenig, alongside her incredible mother, Rena, leads this effort with a dedication and passion that make KCCF so special. Through my volunteer role, I have had many opportunities to get involved, from helping to deliver gift bags to contributing to campaigns that raise awareness and vital funds. If you are looking for a volunteer experience that will challenge and allow you to make a tangible impact, KCCF is your home. You will join a team led by two of the most inspiring women I have ever met, and you will learn invaluable lessons that you will carry with you for life.
