Committed to respecting donors’ privacy
At Kids Cancer Care, we are committed to ethical fundraising practices that respect donors’ rights to privacy and truthful information. We responsibly manage the funds that our donors entrust to us in support of kids and families affected by cancer, and report financial affairs accurately and completely.
Telemarketing blues
Kids Cancer Care NEVER employs telemarketing companies to raise money. We are fortunate to have a generous community of supporters that give in person, through the mail, and online.
