Cure Kids Cancer is a nonprofit organization dedicated to improving and saving the lives of children with cancer by raising funds for local pediatric programs. The 170 Cure Kids Cancer hospitals provide diagnosis, life-saving cancer treatments and pediatric cancer education programs that help children with cancer and their families find hope for the future. All Cure Kids Cancer funds remain local to help local children. For more information about Cure Kids Cancer, visit www.coxhealth.com.
