A Vision for Healing: The Kids Beating Cancer Children’s Center

$20 Million Needed to Launch a One-of-a-Kind Facility

The Vision

Kids Beating Cancer envisions a future where no child suffers alone—a future anchored by the creation of a state-of-the-art Children’s Center dedicated to healing children with cancer and leukemia.

This one-of-a-kind facility will combine the warmth of Kids Beating Cancer’s nurturing environment with advanced medical care offered by affiliated providers. It will be more than a center—it will be a safe haven and home, built around compassion, research, and cures.

Our First 30 Years: A Legacy of Impact

Since 1992, Kids Beating Cancer has been a lifeline for more than 15,000 children and their families.

• We created the first pediatric transplant center in Central Florida.

• We have raised more than $35 million to fund research and family support.

• We have invested over $5 million in pediatric cancer research, advancing new therapies and clinical trials.

What began with one brave little boy named John has grown into a movement of compassion, science, and hope.

Going Forward: The Children’s Center

As we enter our 33rd year, we are taking the next bold step: building the Kids Beating Cancer Children’s Center.

This unique facility will serve four critical purposes:

1. Comprehensive Outpatient Services
   Rental space for affiliated providers delivering advanced outpatient therapies in a healing environment.

2. Advancing Scientific Knowledge
   Research-friendly spaces, an auditorium for symposia, and facilities for visiting experts to accelerate breakthroughs.

3. Safe Family Suites
   Fully equipped, no-cost living spaces for immune-compromised children and families traveling for treatment.

4. Holistic Family Support
   Art therapy, gardening, nutritious meals, and family-centered healing activities provided free of charge.

Why It Matters

Pediatric cancer receives only 4% of national cancer research funding. That is not enough.

Despite limited progress in survival rates over the past 35 years, Kids Beating Cancer continues to push forward—funding research, bridging laboratory breakthroughs to the bedside, and supporting families through every step of the journey.

No child should suffer like John did.
No family should walk this journey alone.

• Children and Families: Safe housing, meals, therapy, and support.
