About CureFest

ONE VOICE
 

CureFest for Childhood Cancer is a global event that brings together thousands of individuals and organizations from around the world, both in-person and virtually. Hundreds of childhood cancer foundations attend CureFest in-person in Washington, DC, where they come together as One Voice against childhood cancer.

 

These foundations have different missions, with some serving their local communities and others funding international research. Regardless of their size or scope, they all share a common goal: to fight childhood cancer and make a difference in the lives of children and families affected by this disease.

MISSION

 

CureFest's mission is to help make childhood cancer a national priority by fostering collaboration among the childhood cancer community, the general public, the medical field, and our elected representatives.

 

While numerous advocacy groups are often represented by one or two large national foundations, the childhood cancer community comprises thousands of small foundations, each with distinct missions and focus areas. CureFest plays a vital role in uniting these diverse groups in our Nation's Capital, creating a powerful, collective voice against childhood cancer.

 

Featuring speeches, performances, games, activities, and a poignant memorial shoe display, CureFest provides a platform to connect with people on a profound level. Many attendees report that CureFest has provided some of the most meaningful experiences of their lives.

Our overarching objective is to steadily expand the event's reach, ensuring that more individuals become aware and involved. Children diagnosed with cancer deserve access to safer and less toxic treatments, and a successful CureFest serves as a crucial step in advancing this cause.
