With a gift of $25,000 or more, CURE Childhood Cancer will establish, at your request, a fund bearing the name you designate. These named funds offer ways for friends, family members, neighbors, colleagues, foundations and/or corporations to commemorate special individuals, such as a child who has battled cancer or an individual who has demonstrated dedication to the field of pediatric cancer.
Individuals and families or other groups may combine gifts made over time to meet the minimum amount. Once a named fund is established, gifts may be designated to the fund at any time. Families and friends may choose to let others know that the fund has been established and invite others to join them in support of this lasting tribute.
Generally, donations to named funds are directed to a range of research and program areas conducted or supported by CURE Childhood Cancer, dictated by areas of greatest need. However, funds may be restricted to a mutually agreed upon purpose that fits within CURE’s mission and organizational goals.
If your interested in learning more about how you can create at Named Fund at CURE Childhood Cancer, contact Executive Director Kirstin Connor at kirstin@curechildhoodcancer.org or 770.986.0035.
