In 2022, about 1.9 million people will be affected by cancer (1). Of those, 10,470 are kids under the age of 15 (2), with 1 in 285 kids diagnosed before their 20th birthday (3). In the US, this is about 43 kids per day(4).
In 2017, a news poll indicated 54% of Americans were either diagnosed with cancer or someone else in their immediate family was diagnosed with cancer(5).
Unfortunately, it can affect any of us, regardless of income, where we live, or even our age. Of the billions of dollars available for cancer research, only 4% is directed toward pediatric cancer research. Most current pediatric cancer treatments were approved 32 years ago(4).
We can change that by raising funds that support pediatric cancer research and treatment centers. We can also try to make the time during treatment just a bit more manageable.
The mission of the Mini Sticks Charitable Organization (a 501(c)3) is to support kids and their families affected by cancer with a simple vision: provide an escape from cancer.
You can help when you ‘Score to Support.’
