Mission Statement

The National Children’s Cancer Society (NCCS) provides vital support for children with cancer, their families, and survivors--addressing needs from diagnosis through survivorship. Our key programs include: Transportation Assistance Fund: Covers travel costs so children can consistently access treatment. Emergency Assistance Fund: Offers help with essential expenses (e.g., rent, prescriptions, repairs) for families facing extended inpatient stays or relocations. Family Support Program: Pairs families with expert case managers for emotional support, advocacy tips, and personalized guidance. Beyond the Cure Program: Equips survivors with educational tools, a Late Effects After Treatment Tool, care referrals, and scholarships. Global Outreach Program: Provides donated medications to hospitals in developing countries, giving children worldwide access to treatment.

Description

The NCCS supports children battling cancer through every step of their journey-from diagnosis and treatment to survivorship and beyond. Ensuring families have the support, resources and guidance they need to overcome. In the United States: Since 1987, the NCCS has distinguished itself by meeting the immediate and long-term needs of more than 50,000 children with cancer and their families. While other groups may focus on a single aspect of support, we take a comprehensive approach to address each family's unique challenges. From direct financial assistance for gas, flights and lodging to covering daily essentials, we work to ease the financial burden so families can focus on their children's health. With over $72 million in direct financial assistance provided to families, we are committed to making a lasting impact where it matters most.
Our dedication extended far beyond the U.S. borders. Globally, the NCCS has supported more than 213,000 children with cancer in 53 countries, supporting 114 medical facilities to deliver lifesaving pharmaceuticals and medical supplies.
