About The National Children’s Cancer Society:
Since 1987, The National Children’s Cancer Society (NCCS) has distinguished itself by meeting the immediate and long-term needs of more than 51,500 children with cancer and their families. From direct financial assistance for gas, flights, and lodging to covering daily essentials like mortgage payments, prescriptions, car repairs, and more, we work to ease the financial burden so families can focus on their children’s health. With over $73 million in direct financial assistance provided to families facing childhood cancer across the United States, the NCCS is committed to making a lasting impact where it matters most.
Globally, the NCCS has supported more than 216,000 children with cancer in 53 countries, supporting 119 medical facilities to deliver lifesaving pharmaceuticals and medical supplies valued at over $477 million. This international reach reflects our unwavering commitment to ensuring every child receives the care they deserve, regardless of where they live.
