National Pediatric Cancer Foundation Collaboration
We are excited to announce a new partnership that amplifies our commitment to combating pediatric brain tumors. This year, instead of hosting our annual Walk-a-Thon, Abby's Corner is joining forces with the National Pediatric Cancer Foundation (NPCF) for their event, The Challenge Funds the Cure.
Saturday May 31st, at 8am
Raymond James Stadium, 4201 North Dale Mabry, Tampa, FL
The funds raised through our team will directly support pediatric cancer research, with a particular emphasis on brain tumors.
About NPCF
The National Pediatric Cancer Foundation is dedicated to funding research to eliminate childhood cancer. Their focus is to find less toxic, more effective treatments through a unique collaborative research initiative called the Sunshine Project.
The National Pediatric Cancer Foundation formed the Sunshine Project, an innovative collaboration with one goal: to bring together the nation’s top doctors and researchers to find a faster cure for pediatric cancer. Through the establishment of the Sunshine Project, the National Pediatric Cancer Foundation has developed a business model that capitalizes on the strengths of researchers from all different fields of science and streamlines the process to accelerate the development of new treatments.
The NPCF currently continues this collaborative research model with more than 30 hospital partners and leading scientists. Since its inception, the NPCF has donated over $30 million to research and has funded over 28 project initiatives.
How You Can Get Involved
We invite you to join our team and participate in this impactful event. Your involvement can make a significant difference in the lives of children battling brain tumors.
