At POGO, we give kids with cancer the support they need–not just during the difficult time around therapy, but for years after when they can face complications from the treatments that saved them. Each year in Ontario, 400 children are diagnosed with cancer and 4,000 families are currently going through active treatment or follow up care. Many of these families are accessing POGO’s financial assistance program for the unexpected costs associated with a childhood cancer diagnosis. While 82% of children survive, many survivors of brain tumours and other cancers may face learning challenges later in life. POGO counsellors work with these young people to help them match their dreams with their abilities and move on to college or university. POGO also maintains an aggressive research agenda. We are asking the types of questions that will benefit these young cancer patients, their families and survivors—in Ontario and around the world—today and well into the future.

ICRF was founded in 1975 by a group of American and Canadian medical researchers, oncologists, and lay people who were committed to the growth and development of Israel and to combating the worldwide scourge of cancer. These visionaries were determined to harness Israel's educational and scientific resources in the fight against cancer, while stemming the "brain drain" of Israel's best and brightest scientists. Their solution: providing funds for postdoctoral fellowships for young Israeli M.D's and Ph.D.'s. Their solution worked. In addition to ICRF's many achievements and medical breakthroughs by ICRF-supported scientists, the organization now has operating chapters in six cities in three countries - the United States, Canada and Israel -- with its international headquarters in New York City, plus active Boards of Directors for each chapter, an International Board of Trustees, and International Scientific Council, a Scientific Review Panel and a Scientific Advisory Board.
