CAC2 effectively advances a variety of childhood cancer causes by unifying the childhood cancer community through broad-based coordinated action and collaboration that leverages the strengths and expertise of its members and minimizes duplication of effort.
We organize our initiatives and programs around four pillars of interest that our members share: Awareness & Advocacy Support, Family Support, Survivorship, and Research & Treatment. We work to share information with and among our members and to provide numerous opportunities for education within each pillar. We also facilitate coordinated action, broad-based collaboration, and shared projects among our members.
Enable the community while respecting our members’ unique missions
Strive for cost effectiveness and efficiency with resources
Emphasize inclusiveness and collaboration towards our common goals
Help give voice to the community and amplify it in a coordinated fashion
Stay action-oriented and flexible
This grassroots movement brought together representatives of small, medium- sized, and large organizations and committed individuals who fight childhood cancer and provide support to the children and families affected by the disease. In 2013, the group incorporated as a 501(c)(3) membership organization. CAC2 has grown steadily since its founding, powered by organizations and individuals who care greatly about and invest themselves in making an impact on childhood cancer
Elevate childhood cancer awareness nationwide and advance policy and advocacy opportunities on childhood cancer issues
Optimize research efforts of CAC2 organizations to amplify the impact of funds raised
Create awareness of and promote collaboration among patient and family support efforts for children and adolescents with cancer and survivors
We rely primarily on the time, skills, and energy volunteered by our members. While our members fund research and support families directly, CAC2 does not. Instead, CAC2 focuses on activities that cannot be effectively and efficiently delivered in the absence of coordinated action.
Our members may operate celebratory or legacy foundations in honor or memory of a special child or adolescent affected by cancer. They may have devoted their personal or professional lives to working for children with cancer. They may have survived childhood cancer themselves. Or they may just feel a close, personal connection to the cause. What unites us all is the belief that the increased impact created and amplified by collaboration will drive progress for childhood and adolescent cancer patients. Together we work with a burning passion and unrelenting energy to improve their lives and the lives of their families.
