PCRF has been a very special organization to me through the years. I have been involved with them through NCL with my daughter, and our family participated in Dribble for a Cure as well. This race is a great community event for the whole family.

Since its establishment in 1982 as a grassroots organization, PCRF has focused its efforts to improve the care, quality of life, and survival rate of children with malignant diseases. The founders, comprising parents, physicians, and community leaders, joined forces to support laboratory research that would translate into immediate treatment for children with cancer. PCRF has raised over $25 million for pediatric cancer research. In 2010, PCRF funded $1.5 million for cancer research laboratories in Southern California and nationally.
