Helping kids fight cancer.
When you support the Carson Leslie Foundation, you give hope to the kids currently fighting, honor the memory of the kids we have lost, and invest in a future where a routine scan is no longer a source of fear.
To find a cure for medulloblastoma.
Brain cancer is the deadliest disease facing kids in the United States. We are one of the only nonprofits whose research investments are solely dedicated to medulloblastoma.
Encouragement
Specialized mental health support and moments of joy that empower young patients.
By delivering tailored encouragement and community-building experiences, we prioritize the emotional well-being of young patients helping them face the rigors of treatment.
Advocacy & Action
We turn awareness into action to address the critical funding needs of medulloblastoma research.
Through advocacy and community engagement, we help amplify the voices of kids with cancer and bring their needs to the federal level.
By the numbers
Approximately 47 kids and teens under the age of 19 are diagnosed with childhood cancer every day in the U.S. Although we have worked tirelessly at the federal level to make childhood cancer a national priority, the hard, cold facts remain: it’s still the deadliest disease affecting our nation’s kids. We must continue our federal efforts to ensure lifesaving research remains a top national priority.
