Kidz Fighting Cancer
Childhood cancer remains the leading cause of death by disease among children in the United States. Every day, 36 children are diagnosed with cancer and the average age of diagnosis is 6. That’s 1 to 2 children for every 10,000 children in the United States. Cancer affects all ethnic, gender, and socio-economic groups and more than 40,000 children undergo treatment for cancer each year. The causes of childhood cancers are largely unknown, and for the most part they cannot be prevented.
The Emma Jordon Kidz Fighting Cancer Foundation is a private nonprofit organization whose mission is to raise public awareness of the continued fight against pediatric cancer which is the leading cause of death by disease of American children. The Emma Jordon Kidz Fighting Cancer Foundation raises money for clinical research directed to the cure of pediatric cancer and for organizations that care for families engaged in the pediatric cancer battle. A particular focus of the Emma Jordon Kidz Fighting Cancer Foundation is to support U.S. military families undergoing pediatric cancer treatment.
The Emma Jordon Kidz Fighting Cancer Foundation is a registered charitable organization in Virginia and a federally approved 501(c)3 non-profit organization. The Emma Jordon Kidz Fighting Cancer Foundation relies on fundraisers and donations to award grants to appropriate pediatric cancer institutions and organizations.
