Foundations and Organizations That Support Rhabdo Research and Families

There is no doubt, research costs money and the National Institute of Health doesn’t provide a great deal of money for pediatric cancer research. And of the money they do allocate, only a very small portion goes to fund rhabdomyosarcoma research.

Much of the funding comes from charitable, non-profit foundations, many of which were started to memorialize a child who lost the battle with this incredibly aggressive disease. By running various fund-raisers, these groups support much of the laboratory research that has been ignored by Big Pharma and our government. If you can, please donate to any of these organizations and ask that your donation be used for rhabdo research.

We are hoping that many of these organizations, especially the smaller ones, will join together in a coalition to support rhabdo research. By bringing together a lot of ‘smaller’ donations, we can create larger grants for our researchers to compete for.

A Rhabdo-Foundation Coalition

When small-to-medium sized foundations join together the result can be larger research grants, additional aid to families, and more.

Currently, a Coalition of Rhabdo Foundations is being formed. Please contact me for additional information.
