For the Children

of Today and Tomorrow.

We advocate for policies, resources, and systems that give every child with cancer a healthier, brighter tomorrow.

People with lived experience lead the way.

Families and survivors guide our priorities, inform our policy agenda, and help shape solutions.

Our Approach to Advocacy

Advocacy is an extension of our mission – to support children with cancer and their families, and to build a future where every child has access to the care and opportunities they deserve.

People with lived
experience lead the way.

Families and survivors guide our priorities and help shape the conversations that matter most.

Greater access to care for all children.

We advocate for expanded pediatric specialty and childhood cancer care, especially for underserved communities like South Texas.

State and federal policy change.

We work with policymakers to advance solutions that improve care, support research, and reduce barriers for families.

Stronger partnerships for lasting impact.

We collaborate with hospitals, advocacy groups, and community partners to amplify our voice and create meaningful, long-term change.

Turning lived experience into action.

Our Advocacy Priorities

Our advocacy focuses on the issues that matter most to the children and families we serve.

Care Closer to Home

Expanding pediatric specialty and childhood cancer care access for families in South Texas.

Childhood Cancer Research

Supporting continued federal investment in research and better treatments.

Family Voice in Policy

Making sure families and survivors have a seat at the table when decisions affecting them are made.

Health Equity & Access

Addressing transportation, geography, financial barriers and other factors that affect a child's ability to receive care.

COMMUNITY IN ACTION

From Local Voices to National Change.

In September 2026, families from across the country joined us at CureFest in Washington, DC – meeting with leaders, sharing their stories, and pushing for a better future for every child with cancer.

Together, We Fight Like a Kid.

Thank you for being part of our story and our mission.
