Our Scientific Medical Research Committee carefully evaluates and selects innovative studies that may not receive traditional funding but hold the potential to improve survival rates and reduce harmful side effects. To date, WOKC has invested more than $12 million in groundbreaking research, which has leveraged over $32 million in additional grants from the National Cancer Institute and other major funding organizations. Since being founded in 1980, WOKC has supported a wide range of national research projects across nearly every pediatric cancer type.
