Who We Are

Cancer Kids First (CKF) is the world’s largest youth-led pediatric cancer nonprofit. We strive to normalize the hospital environment and build a supportive community for patients through five service programs. We donate cards, crafts, toys & books, hospital resources, medical equipment, dream gifts, and host interactive virtual events. Our youth-led team is at the core of our mission and services; we intend to encourage young people to help others their age.
