When you support the Courage of Carly Fund, you’re helping build a future where children facing cancer and blood disorders have access to safer, more effective treatments—and more reasons to hope.
Only 4-5% of federal funding for cancer research is dedicated to childhood cancers. That’s why donor support and community fundraising are essential. Courage of Carly helps bridge the gap needed to advance cancer care in several meaningful ways.
For every dollar donated to the Courage of Carly Fund, Roswell Park researchers are able to leverage an additional $20 in external grant funding for childhood cancer research.
Hear from Dr. Kara Kelly on what sets Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center apart when it comes to childhood cancer.
Roswell Park is on the cusp of transformative changes for several different childhood cancer types, thanks to support through the Courage of Carly Fund. Our world-renowned researchers have uncovered new immunotherapies, expanded the impact of CAR-T cell therapy, and developed targeted drugs that are now moving into frontline treatment.
