The mission of The National Children's Cancer Society is to improve the quality of life for children with cancer and their families worldwide.

To ensure that every child with cancer is given a chance at survival, The National Children's Cancer Society was founded in 1987 to assist children in need of bone marrow transplants. It has since expanded its program services to encompass the needs of all children with cancer.

Pediatric Oncology Program - Provides support to pay health insurance premiums, lodging, food, transportation and telephone expenses. Educational materials provide information about cancer, healthy lifestyle habits, and survivorship.

Care To Share Cancer Connection - An internet support network for families to share their experiences, offer encouragement and learn from others.

Beyond The Cure Program - Helps childhood cancer survivors integrate the cancer experience into their new lives as survivors, to educate survivors and their families about the late effects related to diagnosis and treatment, and to celebrate survivorship.

Global Outreach Program - Distributes donated medical supplies to facilities internationally.
