The National Pediatric Cancer Foundation (NPCF) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to funding and developing novel research and clinical trials to find less toxic, more effective treatments for childhood cancer. Our purpose is to reduce the side effects of current treatments, improve survival rates, and ultimately eliminate childhood cancer. NPCF is a nonprofit organization under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. At the National Pediatric Cancer Foundation, we are aggressively pursuing measurable change in how pediatric cancer research is approached and funded through our collaborative research consortium, the Sunshine Project. The Sunshine Project’s one-of-a-kind research model focuses on translational studies and phase 0, 1, and 2 clinical trials that address a multitude of different pediatric cancers. Our innovative approach capitalizes on the strengths of researchers from various scientific fields throughout the country, streamlining the protocol development process to deliver more personalized medicine to children with cancer. This utilization of scientific and philanthropic partnerships allows us to fast-track potential new therapies with less toxicity into clinical trials. The treatment options currently being discovered bring great promise for children who have not experienced positive results under the standard treatment protocol.
