Did you know that in the United States, cancer is the #1 cause of death by disease in children under 15?? And, because children are not just miniature adults, they need to be treated with specialized care in centers that have expertise in pediatrics.

Ranked # 1 for pediatric cancer care by U.S. News and World Report, The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) is the nation's largest provider of services for pediatric cancer patients. They provide extraordinary care to thousands of children each year and give hope to many more with their groundbreaking research.

Funds raised allow CHOP researchers to focus on finding the best non-invasive treatments and ultimately cures for every type of childhood cancer. Children's Hospital is at the forefront of developing new therapies to treat pediatric leukemia and other blood disorders, brain tumors, sarcomas, retinoblastoma, and neuroblastoma.

At Children's Hospital the race to find better care and cures for illnesses and diseases, like cancer, that strike children is never ending and you can help!
