Childhood Cancer Foundation of Southern California Inc

Our Story

Receiving non-profit status in September of 1981, Childhood Cancer Foundation of Southern California, Inc. (CCFSC) is now more than 700 families strong committed to serving children with cancer and their families throughout Southern California emotionally, financially, educationally and with emergency assistance. CCFSC works directly with the families to identify their need for support. Communication with another family experiencing this devastating disease is very beneficial and CCFSC family events and activities provide this support. Our goal is to help families feel less isolated, frustrated and fearful in dealing with problems that cancer can manifest within the family structure.

Every three and a half minutes a parent hears the devastating news, “Your child has cancer.” With these words, normal life stops and a difficult new journey begins; a journey that will test families physically, emotionally, socially, and financially. Families dealing with cancer use every last resource to fight the disease in an effort to keep their child alive. The children and families we are so privileged to serve come from all corners of our community and from all different backgrounds and circumstances, but they all have one thing in common: they have faced some incredible challenges in their short lives, and they need our comfort and support. Cancer knows no race or economic status.
