Childhood cancer kills more children than any other disease in the United States today, yet treatments designed for a child’s body remain frustratingly out-of-reach. The American Childhood Cancer Organization is the largest national, grassroots organization standing at the forefront of the battle against childhood cancer. Founded by parents in 1970, who themselves have faced this challenge, and joined by a national community of families and survivors, the ACCO is uniquely committed to improving the lives of children and families living with cancer and its long-term side effects, as well as bringing ever-greater awareness to the need for new, more effective treatments appropriate for cancer’s youngest warriors. ACCO provides the highest quality resources designed for children & families, coordinates local assistance to families in need, and leads national (and even international) advocacy campaigns for greater awareness and even more research, just to name a few. ACCO is dedicated to giving every child facing childhood cancer a fighting chance at a healthy, happy future.
