Wipe Out Kids’ Cancer (WOKC) is a Dallas-based non-profit organization founded in 1980 dedicated to raising awareness and funding for pediatric cancer research on a national basis. We have raised over $4 million in the crusade against pediatric cancer
and spent over 30 years developing programs to not only fight childhood
cancer, but to also provide hope and support to kids and families
dealing with cancer.
WOKC is currently funding 4 pediatric cancer research trials at 5 hospitals through partnerships with Children’s Medical Center of Dallas/Legacy and Cook Children’s Medical Center of Ft. Worth. The WOKC Ambassador and Buddy Bag programs provide hope and support to local pediatric cancer patients and their families during treatment. The Young Heroes Scholarship program, funded by Texas Ranger Michael Young and Cristina Barbosa-Young, provides scholarships on a national basis to pediatric cancer survivors attending college.
