NB HOPE 5K Fun Run and Walk
Help us in "The Struggle" against childhood cancer
Website:https://www.nbhope.org/ Company Overview: We are parents and friends of children with neuroblastoma, a deadly form of cancer that has stricken thousands of infants and toddlers over the years. There is very little known about why neuroblastoma occurs, or about what factors increase the risk for occurrence. Every 16 hours a child with neuroblastoma dies. We found that there was a need to address the many issues that neuroblastoma presents to the family, the child, the doctors and nurses, the community and the country.
To be aware is to have knowledge, and that is the first step in making a dream come true. The next step is to use that knowledge as a tool in supporting the needs of the children and their families and provide funding to the medical community for new and advanced research studies. As an organization, we fulfill that responsibility through education, support, advocacy, and research.
Mission Statement
1. Encourage and support research to reveal causes and discover effective treatments of neuroblastoma.
2. Provide services to children with neuroblastoma and their families.
3. Educate the public and healthcare providers about the disease.
4. Provide a forum for patients and family members of children afflicted with such cancers for the sharing of information concerning medical treatment, palliative care, hospice services, bereavement groups and emotional support.
5. Foster, promote, support, develop encourage, solicit, maintain, receive and accept funds, gifts, grants and contributions for and on behalf of such purposes. Operate other educational programs, entities and activities, which, in the opinion of the Board of Directors, and at its discretion, will support the foregoing purposes.
Products: CNCF is a 501 (c)(3) public charity. Your donations are tax-deductible to the full extent of the law. ID #36-4370725.
