Rally Foundation for Childhood Cancer Research
Rally, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, empowers volunteers across the country to raise awareness and funds for childhood cancer research to find better treatments with fewer long-term side effects and, ultimately, cures.
Our mission started with one simple question.
What can I do to help?

Why We Rally
Every day, 47 children in America are diagnosed with cancer, the leading disease killer among kids. Childhood cancers differ from those in adults, requiring dedicated research. Shockingly, less than 8% of the National Institutes of Health’s budget supports pediatric cancer research.
This is a call to action, urging us to raise awareness, advocate for increased federal funding, fund research ourselves, provide financial support to affected families, and most importantly, offer hope.
Together, we can make a profound impact on the lives of these brave young warriors.

New to the childhood cancer community?
Rally Foundation for Childhood Cancer Research (Rally) was founded in 2005 by Dean Crowe, who watched her friend’s child battle brain cancer. She asked,
“What can I do to help?”
We know how important it is for you and your child to be part of a loving community, find support and comfort. Also, we know how important it is for your community to help you. We are here for you, your family and your friends.
After all, Rally started with a simple question,
“What can I do to help?” How can we help you?
Rally has awarded $40.5 million
in childhood cancer research grants
