Children’s Minnesota cares for nearly 1,000 kids every year living with cancer – more than any other hospital in the state. But that’s not all! We care for their parents and siblings, too. Because stronger families make for stronger patients.
That’s exactly why our Cancer Kids Fund was created. This fund supports everything from our Sibling Play Area to therapies like art and massage. It also covers a family’s everyday expenses like meals and parking and, when needed, big things like mortgage payments. The fund also supports research to find new, better treatments.
