Worldwide, 300,000 families each year hear the words: Your child has cancer. Every day in the United States more than 40 kids are diagnosed with cancer, and it remains the number one cause of death by disease. For those who survive their diagnosis, two-thirds will suffer long-term effects from their treatment including loss of hearing and sight, heart disease, secondary cancers, cognitive disabilities, infertility and more. But you can offer these families hope by investing in childhood cancer research with Jeff Gordon Children’s Foundation.
In 18 years, nearly 80,000 people have done just that, raising more than $16 million through the Corvette For A Cure Program alone. Last year, 99% of you who made contributions covered associated transaction costs — sending more of your donations directly to the mission — and nearly 2,000 especially generous people even made an additional donation. More than 100 folks went the extra mile and chose to have their additional contributions recur monthly. THIS is how we beat childhood cancer together.
Your donations fund innovations that improve quality of life, treatment programs that increase survivorship, and medical research dedicated to finding a cure for kids fighting cancer in your community and communities all over the world. We can’t do it without you.
