St. Baldrick’s Childhood Cancer Research Foundation

Worldwide, 400,000 children are diagnosed with cancer each year. And in the U.S., more children die of childhood cancer than any other disease—more than AIDS, asthma, cystic fibrosis, congenital anomalies and diabetes combined.

Over 99% of childhood cancer survivors have a chronic health problem because of the treatment they had as kids.

The St. Baldrick’s Childhood Cancer Research Foundation exists to change these realities.By working closely with leading pediatric oncologists, we determine the most promising research to fund and create funding priorities to make the greatest impact for children with cancer.
