Only 4% of federal cancer research funding is allocated to pediatric cancer.
Pediatric cancer is a story that needs to be heard and helped. Every child deserves a fighting chance.
About Rise for Reason
Rise for Reason is a student-led nonprofit organization that seeks to raise awareness and drive action towards pediatric cancer. Passionate and led by young people, we aim to uplift young voices, fund vital research, and support affected families through education, advocacy, and impactful events.
With heart, hustle, and a reason to rise, we believe we can create a world where no child must fight cancer by themselves. Our mission is to partner with communities and provide authentic input from young people to enhance research priorities, family support services, and advocacy efforts.
The goal is to fill the gap of student advocacy in this field, emphasizing the idea of "Kids Giving to Kids".
