Partnering to Defeat Childhood Cancer
GP PRO (Georgia-Pacific) is a longtime partner of Rally Foundation for Childhood Cancer Research. Together, we work to defeat childhood cancer, the #1 disease killer of kids in America.
This year, at the GP PRO national business meeting, our teams will have a chance to help Rally and these amazing kids by participating in a 5K for $5K Fun Run/Walk on Tuesday, October 1. Please feel free to support our team and this great cause.
“Waiting while we knew the tumors were growing felt like
a very terrible option. But then there was Rally.”

Rally Kid Caroline’s Story
Caroline was diagnosed with brain cancer when she was three years old. At that
time there was no standard treatment for her specific cancer, so she followed
a treatment plan for a similar type of brain cancer. After chemotherapy and
radiation, Caroline was stable for five years. She enjoyed going to school, playing
with her friends and family, and being a regular kid.
Seven years after her original diagnosis, a routine MRI showed new tumor
growth in Caroline’s brain and there was still no standard treatment available.
The only option was to search for a clinical trial that would offer an experimental
treatment.
There was only ONE clinical trial in the entire country available to treat Caroline
and Rally funded that trial.
Rally made sure that Caroline had a treatment option when she needed it most.
