My wife and I have been involved with PCRF for a number of years. The work that this organization is sponsoring is phenomenal. Over the years, we have been deeply moved by the hundreds of personal testamonials that young people have presented to provide a first hand view of the wonderful advances in treatment and care that the Foundation has made possible. At the heart of PCRF and its work are a multitude of active, caring and extremely generous volunteers.

Seeing the courageous young people who have and continued to battle cancer in its various forms, and hearing them explain what they have been able to achieve through the support of this organization.
The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were...
Extremely competent and generous. It takes a great deal of personal commitment to be an active player in the work of a non-profit, primarily volunteer staffed organization. The staff of PCRF are wonderfully upbeat and caring.

Excellerate the concentrated quests for the root causes of cancer and in the development of new and progressively more effective approaches to treatment.

We had lived in the Orange County area.
In my opinion, the biggest challenges facing this organization are...
Maintaining the positive and productive relationships with the research and care providing institutions that PCRF is supporting. Effectively reaching out to pediatric patients and their families to keep in constant contact with them and their needs.
One thing I'd also say is that...
Over our lives, my wife and I have been directly or peripherally involved with a large number of non-profit organizations. Among all of these, PCRF seems to be the most successful and best run.

There is nothing closer to my heart than pediatric cancer, as this terrible disease took my eight year old daughter two years ago. It is unthinkable that there is so little federal funding for research in this area, and PCRF is a ray of hope for each and every family, by directing all of their donations to research specifically for pediatric cancer. In addition, my daughter was thrilled to be able to participate in their children-with-cancer-designed Christmas cards, as so many children are. It is such an amazing program and great way to raise funds. They make these children feel special and important. Most importantly, they have been successful in raising a great deal of money towards researching a cure for a disease that steals beautiful children from this world, and tears apart families. God Bless them!
The Great!
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...

I love this organization and I can't say enough about it. I have a passion for pediatric cancer although I have never been directly effected by it. I have volunteered with PCRF a few times and also recruited my sister. We had such a great time during events and the people are all so genuine. You really get a sense of what the organization is all about once you see the smiles on all the kids' faces that they touch. I have since moved out of state and am still looking for such an organization like this.

My daughter is a cancer survivor and we have supported Pediartic Cancer Research Foundation for the last 7 years. They continually do new research to provide cures for childrens cancer. For the children that are healthy enough there is the Western Roundup evey year. This was a favorite for my daughter with all the rides, games, food and wonderful prizes.

I currently help PCRF with their media and PR efforts for their annual Run/Walk event in Irvine. I also attend their annual Bid For the Kids. PCRF does many great events to help raise money for research to help find a cure for kids with cancer and fight the horrible disease. 80 percent of each dollar is spent on finding a cure, so your donations go a long way.

there are a lot of families who have gone through so much dealing with a child who had cancer and they leaned on PCRF to help get them through the tough times.
