This year, nearly 16,000 children will receive the devastating diagnosis of cancer. While the outcomes in pediatric cancer have greatly improved in the past several decades due to philanthropic investments in research, many forms of aggressive cancer still exist, and pediatric cancer remains one of the top three leading causes of death in children under 14 in the United States.

UPMC Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh is one of the leading hospitals in the United States, treating over 1,000 patients each year. Leading the way in childhood neurologic cancer and clinical research, UPMC Children's is noted as one of the Top 20 pediatric cancer programs in the United States.
