Guided by Families: The Family Advisory Council
We don’t just create programs for families; we build them with families.
The Family Advisory Council is a passionate group of parents who have been directly impacted by childhood cancer. They serve as our vital compass — advocating for the community, shaping our overall policies, and ensuring that every program and service we launch directly meets the real, evolving needs of the families we serve.
