OUR MISSION
Wipe Out Kids' Cancer offers comfort and hope to kids with cancer through support programs serving the entire family and funds innovative research leading to new discoveries and treatments in the fight against pediatric cancer.
The Wipe Out Kids' Cancer Impact
There's nothing scarier than hearing, "Your child has cancer."
"I'm a fighter."
Cancer is the number one cause of death by disease among children. In America, 45 children are diagnosed daily. Even though 7 out of 8 kids survive, 66% of those who do have long-term chronic health issues throughout the rest of their lives. Think about that!
We lose more children to cancer than AIDS, muscular dystrophy, cystic fibrosis, and asthma combined.
Join us in providing comfort and hope to children with cancer.

Programs that work.
Warriors
Since cancer affects the entire family, this unique WOKC program provides fun and free events throughout the year. All family members enjoy amusement venues, sporting events, holiday parties, and other social engagement activities…"medicine for the soul" as parents describe.
Buddy Bags
A Buddy Bag is a sturdy rolling suitcase given to pediatric cancer patients admitted for an overnight stay in a WOKC partnering hospital. Filled with carefully selected hygienic, comfort, and entertainment items, they are designed to ease the transition from home or pediatrician’s office to the hospital.
Research
WOKC has significantly impacted the pediatric cancer space by funding over $10 million for innovative and novel childhood cancer research projects. This seed money has yielded more than $30 million in additional grant money for further critical research study and discoveries.
Hope and support.
