PEDIATRIC CANCER FOUNDATION

Since 1970, Pediatric Cancer Foundation has raised substantial funds to aid sick children and those who treat them.

The Foundation has purchased technologically advanced state-of-the art equipment and instruments that have enormously enhanced the success rate in delicate operations to remove tumors. One of those instruments, the Harmonic Scapel, was purchased as a result of last year's Swimathon program, "Kids Swim for Kids."

Pediatric Cancer Foundation has also funded new research in childhood tumors and blood diseases, and promoted parent-patient education in pediatric hematology, oncology and surgery. We support a Pediatric Cancer Foundation In-Patient Unit and PCF Infusion Rooms.

We fund institutions that are leaders in pediatric cancer research and are centers to which children from all parts of the continent come to be diagnosed and treated.

It is our mission to sponsor physicians and researchers who treat pediatric cancer patients in hospitals such as Children's Hospital of New York-Presbyterian (formerly Babies and Children's Hospital), Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, The Hassenfeld Children's Center at NYU Hospital's Center, Schneider Children's Hospital at North Shore LIJ Health Systems, and Maria Fareri Children's Hospital at Westchester Medical Center.

Pediatric Cancer Foundation graciously thanks all of our contributors for their generous financial support.
