The Sam Day Foundation advances research for childhood and young adult cancers and facilitates wellness-centered support and experiences so kids with cancer can survive and live well.
Every year, approximately 17,000 children in the U.S. will be diagnosed with cancer.
Only 4% of the budget from the National Cancer Institute is dedicated to childhood cancer.
Many of the most devastating childhood and young adult cancer treatments are 40 years old, and research progress is decades behind that of most adult cancers.
We don’t think that’s ok.
Hear about the heart and soul of the Sam Day Foundation, and a few stories about Sam.
The long, diligent work of research is only complete when it arrives at the bedside of a child in need. This Sam Day Lectureship will create opportunity for providers in Oregon to learn about leading edge developments in the research and treatment of rare pediatric cancers. Every child should have access to the most supportive, curative, and restorative interventions possible.
We’re coming back TOGETHER for the 9th Annual Sam Day Soiree on March 11, 2023, presented by The Partners Group Foundation.
Join us for a fun, powerful evening of community as we come together to raise funds and awareness for kids with cancer.
Thanks to everyone who joined in the effort with great energy and a spirit of HOPE!
