CURE Childhood Cancer Association: Improving the lives of families coping with childhood cancer or chronic blood disorders by providing emotional, educational and financial assistance.

Description:
365 days a year, CURE is at work in local hospitals, homes and our offices at 200 Westfall Road, helping families cope with childhood cancer and blood disorders. Direct support begins at the time of diagnosis and continues through every stage of treatment and beyond, ranging from support groups to special activities for siblings to hospital parking tokens and financial aid.
Our success as an organization relates equally to the commitment and compassion of volunteers, the quality of CURE’s programs and services, the outstanding work of our paid professionals, and the financial support of our donors.

History:
CURE was founded in 1976 by parents who had lost children to cancer. They had experienced a critical gap in community services. To fill it, they founded the first organization of its kind in the U.S.
