About Us

CURE Childhood Cancer Association is a LOCAL organization that was founded in 1976 by a group of Rochester parents who had lost a child to cancer. They found there were specific needs that were not being met during their unique childhood cancer journeys, and so CURE Childhood Cancer Association was formed. CURE's mission is to improve the lives of families coping with childhood cancer and chronic blood disorders through providing emotional, educational, social and financial support; promoting and funding research toward a cure. Today, 86 cents for every dollar donated goes directly into programs and services for our families.
