Founded in 1992, the mission of the Childhood Leukemia Foundation is to lift the spirits and enhance the quality of life of children suffering with cancer. Our goal is to make sure children battling cancer know they are not alone. All of our programs have been designed to: educate and entertain; provide a sense of physical normalcy and help raise self esteem; encourage physical participation and therapeutic play; maintain a communications lifeline; and provide care management tools. Childhood Leukemia Foundation works with more than 250 specialized treatment centers and has helped over 50,000 children nationwide with free programs and services for childhood cancer patients and their families.
