Cancer Kids First
Who We Are
Cancer Kids First (CKF) is the largest youth-led international nonprofit helping pediatric cancer patients experience a better childhood. We supply patients with toy and book donations, cards, care packages, interactive events and more. We are also working towards helping patients internationally access treatment and care. CKF strives to normalize the hospital environment, inspire patients to keep fighting, and spark some joy within their lives through our many programs.
Join us in Putting Kids With Cancer First.
