A yellow circular road sign with black text that reads '1 IN 286'.

1 in 286 kids will be diagnosed with cancer before they are 20 years old. It’s not that rare.

Over half of all funding for Childhood Cancer research comes from foundations, like ours.

Yellow circle with black text displaying $0.04.

For every dollar the federal government invests in cancer research, adults get $0.96 and kids get $0.04

This initiative was inspired by our friends at the Eli Sunshine Fund who have encouraged hundreds of NYC businesses to “Go Gold” for September.

Let’s Pin Down Cancer

Clip for a Cause

This Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, join the Little Warrior Foundation in spreading awareness in a fun, meaningful way.

Our special LWF clothespins are inspired by the “pinning” trend among athletes, where decorated pins with encouraging messages are secretly clipped onto others to build camaraderie and culture.

We’ve taken that idea beyond the field—clip them at school, work, or in daily life as a show of support for kids fighting cancer.

Each pin includes a link on the back so people can learn more and get involved. A simple clip, a powerful message.

STICK IT TO CANCER

Childhood cancer Research is grossly underfunded

The National Cancer Institute (NCI) only spends an average of 3.94% of its research funding on all pediatric cancers combined or about 195 million dollars annually.

It may seem like a lot, but the US military spends $250,000,000 on The Military every day.

Ewing’s Sarcoma is just 1 of over 100 types of pediatric cancers.
