Why We Rally
Every day, 47 children in America are diagnosed with cancer, making it 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 are making a profound impact on 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?
