Supporting Our Families

A gift of any size to Northern Nevada Children’s Cancer Foundation will greatly benefit a family whose child is undergoing cancer treatment or suffering late effects from treatment. When a child is stricken with cancer, the needs are great.

Your gift supports the families of Northern Nevada Children’s Cancer Foundation.
Help, Hope, Courage … It’s Why We’re Here!

NNCCF launches survivorship program
for teen cancer patients

The Northern Nevada Children’s Cancer Foundation launched a new program called Inspire on April 1 for adolescents and young adults who have survived childhood cancer and those who are still undergoing cancer treatments.

The opportunity to attend camps and courses, which are tailored to the ages of these survivors to learn about the cancer journey and provide support for moving beyond cancer, will be provided throughout the region. Inspire also will offer a counseling component to address each survivor’s emotional and psychological needs during this stage of their life. Finally, the program will give scholarships to five students based on an application and eligibility requirements to help them on a path toward a successful career.
