Since 1980, Wipe Out Kids' Cancer has offered comfort and hope to kids with cancer through support programs serving the entire family and funds innovative research leading to new discoveries and treatments in the fight against pediatric cancer. WOKC takes a wholistic approach to this fight and that approach features three primary initiatives. WOKC refers to pediatric cancer patients as “warriors” and the Warrior Family Program is designed to provide respites from the diagnosis, to create family support systems, and to establish trusting relationships between families in order to create a support system of encouragement throughout all phases of their cancer journey. WOKC is also launching a global podcast that will focus on validating the patient’s emotions during this difficult journey. WOKC funds cutting edge pediatric cancer research that focuses on early detection, prevention of side effects, and less invasive treatments…and of course, that elusive cure. The WOKC Buddy Bag is a rolling suitcase given to pediatric cancer patients admitted for an overnight stay in a WOKC partnering hospital. Filled with over 50 carefully selected hygienic, comfort, and entertainment items (including an iPad), the Buddy Bag is designed to ease the unexpected transition from home to hospital. The WOKC Buddy Bag is considered the gold standard in the US. WOKC also promotes a “kids helping kids” environment by having an active Young Champions Board and partnering with high schools for the WOKC Fundraising Challenge. Kids shouldn't get cancer, but when they do...YOU can help! 

Thank you!
