Cancer Kids Fund
Making every day better for kids
The team at Children’s Minnesota cares for nearly 2,500 kids every year living with cancer and blood disorders, more than any other hospital in the state. We care for their parents and siblings, too. Because stronger families make for stronger patients.
That’s why we created the Cancer Kids Fund. It 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.

-

- Covering their expenses, such as parking and meals
