Optimist International Childhood Cancer
Support the Optimist Childhood Cancer Research Campaign
Finding a cure for childhood cancer could become a reality with the support of Optimists everywhere. The Optimist organization has pledged more than $900,000 to fund a research fellowship at Johns Hopkins University in the name of Optimist International. This research will concentrate on finding a vaccine that may someday prevent childhood cancers.
Your help is still needed if Optimists are going to find a cure for childhood cancer. More information about the Childhood Cancer Campaign is available on this website, by calling the International Office at (800) 500-8130, ext. 261, or by e-mail at ccc@optimist.org .
