Our Story: Stronger Together

The most impactful charities are often the smallest ones, run by people with deeply personal connections to the cause.

The world of pediatric cancer can feel enormous and overwhelming, but the most crucial help often comes from the smallest, most dedicated organizations. We know this firsthand.

This platform was created from a simple belief: that the most impactful charities are the ones run by people with deeply personal connections to the cause. These groups—those with annual donations under $200,000—are often the closest to the families they serve, providing critical, hyper-local support and resources.

The Challenge of Going It Alone

While these small charities are fiercely passionate, they face unique challenges. They rarely have the time or budget for extensive staff, large marketing campaigns, or expensive professional development. Instead, their energy is spent directly helping kids and families, often leaving little bandwidth for things like:

Sharing lessons learned on effective programs.

Connecting with a vetted peer in another state for advice.

Gaining visibility with national donors who can't easily find them.

Our Shared Purpose

Every small charity in this network shares one common, unwavering purpose: to help kids with cancer and their families.

We realized that if we could bring these passionate, local heroes together, we could multiply their individual impact. Our website is not a national organization; it is simply a central connection point designed to foster collaboration, not competition.

Share Stories

Our Collective Impact

By providing a hub where these groups can share their stories, resources, and best practices, we aim to ensure that the vital work being done on the ground is never isolated. When one charity finds a successful program, every other charity in the network benefits.

We believe that by sharing our lessons, our connections, and our collective hope, the combined efforts of this network will create a significantly greater impact than any one of us could achieve alone. This is how we ensure that our children's legacies of courage continue to make a difference across the country.

With hope and determination,

Joe Del Vecchio
