Funding the Future of Childhood Cancer Research
Every day, children are diagnosed with cancers that still have no cure, relying on treatments that have remained unchanged for decades. Rally Foundation steps in where traditional funding often doesn’t, providing philanthropic seed investments for bold, early-stage research with the greatest potential to save lives.
We fund the future by backing breakthrough science because kids fighting cancer can’t wait. Their futures depend on more than hope. They depend on action.
Why Childhood Cancer Research Can’t Wait
Childhood cancer is the leading cause of death by disease in children in the United States. Yet many treatments haven’t changed in decades and most were originally developed for adults, not kids.
Increased funding for childhood cancer research is the only way to change that. With more support, we can accelerate the development of safer, more effective treatments designed specifically for children — giving them a better chance at survival and a healthier future.
From 10% to Thriving: Drew’s Story
Rally Kid Drew was given less than a 10% chance of survival. Today, he’s not just surviving, he’s thriving, thanks to neuroblastoma research funded by Rally at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia and Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center.
Rally-Funded Research Has Helped Bring New Treatments to Life
Research doesn’t happen overnight; it takes years of persistence, funding and hope. The chart below shows when Rally began supporting research that has since led to approved treatments for kids with cancer.
Every milestone represents lives changed and futures made possible.
