The Children’s Cancer Center is a non-profit organization dedicated to serving children and their families who are battling pediatric cancer or chronic blood disorders with emotional, financial, and educational support needed to cope with life-threatening illnesses.
With 30 support programs and services currently helping over 5,000 children and family members, support is offered to all members of the family and is available throughout every step of their difficult journey.
Children’s Cancer Center was founded in 1974. Mac and Cecile Burnett, who lost their daughter Helen to leukemia, and Dr. Janifer M. Judisch envisioned an organization that would help alleviate the stress of coping with a child’s life-threatening disease.
The philosophy of our original founders was that when a child is diagnosed, the entire family is diagnosed. Therefore, our programs and services address the needs of all family members affected.

"I loved being able to watch my sister walk through the door and not have to worry about being bald, or walking funny, or being laughed at, or made fun of."

"As a mother and wife, I am very thankful that the CCC realizes the importance of the parent getting time on their own, as well as the parents getting time together to reconnect and let their shoulders down some, and the need for the whole family to get loved on.... When a child is diagnosed , the whole family is diagnosed!"

"The Children’s Cancer Center was a place where Shanella could be with other kids who were on the same journey. Cancer can make you feel isolated and alone, but the CCC gave us hope and a place for Shanella to connect."

"Just being able to spend time with other families that are going through the same thing and seeing our son having fun and interacting with other kids without being afraid has helped us get through this diagnosis."
