Every cent donated on this website will go to the American Childhood Cancer Organization, which was founded by a committed group of parents. ACCO has placed a priority on ensuring that those making policy decisions today understand what a family goes through when their child has been diagnosed with cancer. Since 1970, American Childhood Cancer Organization has been respected as an essential and integral provider of programs and services required by families of children and adolescents with cancer across this country. Together with local affiliates and partners who provide the direct support to families, ACCO addresses the critical needs that families face today. As a grassroots leader in the childhood cancer community, ACCO speaks for the needs of the families and survivors. Doing so, they help shape policy, research, and programs on the national level that affect the lives of families today and tomorrow. The board and staff of ACCO are committed to serving the childhood cancer community until the day when no child dies or is left with life long effects from this devastating disease.

American Childhood Cancer Organization's mission is to address the needs of families through programs that emphasize information, advocacy, awareness, and research. In this way, they support families, both directly and through affiliation with local organizations, and work toward a better tomorrow for our children and adolescents.  One in 330 children will be diagnosed before their 20th birthday, and soon, it is estimated that one in 450 young adults between the ages of 18 and 45 will be a survivor of childhood cancer. 2/3 of survivors deal with long term late effects from its toxic treatment, 1/3 of which are moderate to severe. ACCO strongly believes that families need accurate information, advocacy, and support from the first day of diagnosis through the rest of the child s life. The staff and board of American Childhood Cancer Organization are committed to meeting the needs of these survivors and their families.
