What is National Tackle Kids Cancer Day?
On September 15th, National Tackle Kids Cancer Day will give you the opportunity to participate in pediatric cancer research. Join other Tackle Kids Cancer supporters by volunteering to mobilize our community and raise the necessary funds for pediatric cancer research. Did you know that only 4% of federal cancer funds go to pediatric cancer research? More than ever, finding a cure means more than ever. Our voices will be heard on Tackle Kids Cancer Day, which gives us a platform to be understood. Pediatric cancer research can be aided in finding a cure.

The day supports innovative research and patient care services at Hackensack University Medical Center's Children's Cancer Institute (CCI). CCI is leading over a dozen clinical trials to find aggressive forms of pediatric cancer. Most notably, their extensive pediatric neuro-oncology program is leading the way to the development of new protocols for treating this common disease. In addition, Tackle Kids Cancer funds the Cure and Beyond Program, one of a handful of survivorship services for pediatric cancer survivors in the United States.
Let your love shine through on Tackle Kids Cancer Day! Help find a cure for pediatric cancer by gearing up and helping find a cure.
