The National Children's Cancer Society

The National Children?s Cancer Society (NCCS) supports children battling cancer through every step of their journey?from diagnosis and treatment to survivorship and beyond?ensuring their families have the support, resources, and guidance they need to overcome. We do more than help children with cancer survive?we empower them to thrive. At the NCCS, we tirelessly support families impacted by a childhood cancer diagnosis, keeping families strong, hopeful, and together. We bring light to the darkest moments, proving that compassion and support can make all the difference.

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 like mortgage payments, prescriptions, and car repairs, 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 across the United States, the NCCS is committed to making a lasting impact where it matters most. Our compassionate case managers provide personalized guidance and emotional support, offering hope and practical advocacy tips to families navigating their cancer journey. Our educational resources also empower parents, friends, and survivors with valuable knowledge. To further support survivors, we offer a scholarship program that helps them achieve their academic goals and build a brighter future.

Worldwide: 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 valued at over $476 million. This international reach reflects our unwavering commitment to ensuring every child receives the care they deserve, regardless of where they live.
