Childhood Cancer Facts
1 in 5 children diagnosed with cancer will die within 5-years
To make real progress in childhood cancer, Pierce Phillips Charity firmly believes that we need to direct funding toward research that will develop new and innovative ways to attack and destroy cancer in children. The data, the technology, the brilliant scientists and doctors are out there – they need funding to change history and give children a fighting chance.
- Kids don’t vote, so we have to be their voice. But unfortunately, 96% of federal funding for research is for adult cancers, leaving 4% for childhood cancers.
- Funding from large cancer organization does not help childhood cancer research the way it should. Less than 1% of American Cancer Society’s total donations were directed toward childhood cancer research.

What people are saying
You can change the status quo for kids battling cancer. Donate and together we can create better treatment options and educate for a change!
The donation our family received was a huge blessing. With all of the missed work for doctors appointments, the meals needed to eat while in the hospital, and other miscellaneous needs, the financial gift from Pierce Phillips really lightens the burden. Thank you so much for your generosity and for supporting families during their difficult journey!
My son Michael was recently diagnosed with Ewing Sarcoma. He has been receiving treatments since the beginning of April. We appreciate your gift so much. We were able to use it to cover some of the medical expenses. It has been an emotional and stressful time for everyone and not having to worry about those expenses was very helpful. We appreciate your gift so much!
On behalf of our family and our son Brian "Bj" Carrethers, we would like to thank your foundation for all of your help and for choosing our family for financial assistance. We are a family of 6 with one income and the medical bills from our son's treatments is overwhelming. Your hospitality has really relieved some financial stress.
