TeamConnor Believes President Trump’s Childhood Cancer Proposal is a Good Start

Most pediatric cancer treatments have not significantly improved in the past 20 years. Without funding, progress can not be made to advance childhood cancer treatments and potential cures. For our most vulnerable population, this is unacceptable. The TeamConnor
Childhood Cancer Foundation mission is to raise funds for national childhood cancer research programs, to build awareness that less than 4% of the NIH’s annual funding supports childhood cancer research, and to support inpatient programs.
TeamConnor Childhood Cancer Foundation was founded as a non-profit 501(c)(3) by Connor’s mother, Joy Cruse, and shortly thereafter the first board of directors was established. Since TeamConnor’s inception in late 2008, the organization has donated more than $2.3 million to hospitals and research facilities around the country. TeamConnor would not be successful without our generous donors and supporters who attend our golf tournaments, auctions, fun runs, and various fundraising events throughout the year.
Today, there are many children battling cancer. More funding means more research and increased treatment options available for children with cancer. Ultimately, we are focused on finding cures. Our organization continues to work tirelessly so that other children will not have to suffer. Please help us fund more research for all childhood cancers.
All donations are tax-deductible.
