Cancer is the leading cause of death by disease among children in the U.S. Each year, more than 15,000 kids are diagnosed with cancer, and 1 out 5 of them will not survive. Research can uncover new ways to prevent, treat, and cure childhood cancers. However, the percentage of federal funding granted to pediatric cancer research studies remains in the single digits.
We need to change that. You can be a part of the fight to Block Out Cancer.
Block Out Cancer
Children battling cancer deserve more effective therapies, improved outcomes, fewer harmful side effects, and more hope. That’s why we fundraise year-round to support Block Out Cancer. This vital effort is ongoing throughout the year and culminates in a big push during National Childhood Cancer Awareness Month in September.
Proceeds from Block Out Cancer provide crucial support for groundbreaking research and patient programs at the University of Michigan Health C.S. Mott Children’s Hospital. Campaign contributions help our physicians and scientists move one step closer to discovering cures that benefit children everywhere.
