Chaired by Representatives Michael McCaul (R-TX), Jackie Speier (D-CA), Mike Kelly (R-PA), and G.K. Butterfield (D-NC), this is a bipartisan Caucus for members of the House of Representatives. The Caucus serves as a clearinghouse for information on pediatric cancer and a forum to aid legislators working together to address pediatric cancer. Every September, the Caucus holds a Summit on pediatric cancer issues to raise awareness and discuss current legislative issues.

This advocacy opportunity is held annually in Washington, DC and is hosted by the Alliance for Childhood Cancer, a coalition of over 30 national patient advocacy groups and professional, medical, and scientific organizations. The two-day event includes issues and advocacy training and pre-arranged Capitol Hill visits with Members of Congress and their staff to discuss important childhood cancer issues currently before Congress.
