Hope. Help. Heal.

Knowing a child with cancer brings a lot of uncertainty.

We are here to provide hope and support for anyone affected by childhood cancer in eight Northwest Indiana counties (Lake, Porter, Laporte, Jasper, Newton, St. Joseph, Starke and Marshall).

We also contribute to charities that fund promising research in childhood cancer fields. We believe a CURE is the ultimate mission of any cancer foundation.
