Help Us Stop Pediatric Cancer in Its Tracks

Your gift is matched in September

Every 34 minutes, a child in the U.S. is diagnosed with cancer. At Phoenix Children’s, this is what keeps us up at night—and we won’t slow down until the day when no family ever loses a child to cancer.

September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, and this year you have a special opportunity to make a difference for children with cancer and their families. For the rest of September, your donation to Phoenix Children’s Center for Cancer and Blood Disorders will be triple matched by our generous friends at Layton Construction and Harkins Theatres, up to $100,000.

That means when you #StepUpWithPCH in September, your gift will go three times as far.

Setting the Pace

Though we can now cure about 80% of children with cancer, it remains the leading cause of disease-related death among both children and adolescents. At Phoenix Children's Center for Cancer and Blood Disorders, we have ambitious plans to expand our treatment options and pioneer new ones, maximizing cure rates while minimizing side effects.

Now more than ever, we need your partnership and support to stay at the forefront of pediatric oncology. Here are a few ways we're doing just that:

🎗 Phoenix Children’s was one of the first pediatric oncology programs in the nation to begin offering CAR-T cell therapy to children, and we continue to invest in this and other promising cell therapies.

🎗 Our team is investigating several new antibodies for pediatric cancers, particularly in neuroblastoma and sarcomas.

🎗 We’re also exploring new ways to increase the number of activated immune cells in the body available to fight cancer.

Help us get one step closer to defeating childhood cancer

As Arizona's largest pediatric cancer program, Phoenix Children's Center for Cancer and Blood Disorders treats thousands of young cancer patients each year. It’s our mission to ensure that they get the best care from the moment of diagnosis to the completion of treatment and beyond.

Your gift today helps us provide world-class patient care, offer state-of-the-art therapies, and conduct research that leads to lifesaving breakthroughs.
