We are able achieve the impossible with the help and support of people like you. We are a 501 (C)(3) nonprofit located in Reno, Nevada, supporting northern Nevada children with cancer. Childhood cancer can be devastating financially and emotionally to children, parents, and siblings. No journey through childhood cancer is the same and NNCCF strives to assist each family with individualized care. Our organization provides support at no cost to families. We also fund research for safe treatment and cures, and advocate for more federal support for childhood cancer research.
