Our Mission

Together we are funding childhood cancer research and making a difference in the fight against childhood cancer

One of the most devastating events that can occur within a family is the diagnosis of cancer in a young member. Presently, very little is known about the underlying causes of childhood malignancies as the majority of research dollars raised are spent on investigating adult forms of cancer. The pathology underlying cancers in children is different from that underlying cancers in adults and we desperately need more support for pediatric oncology research programs.

Please Give

Since its inception in 1997, the Michael Cuccione Foundation has worked diligently to bring more focus to childhood cancer research through the generous support from the public. The funds raised by this foundation are donated in memory of Michael Cuccione, who at the age of 9, had a vision to support various research programs across Canada and the United States.

Since his passing at the young age of 16, the foundation has been committed to spreading Michael's message and keeping his dream alive. With all of the love and support from the individuals Michael continues to inspire, perhaps one day Michael's dream of eradicating this disease will become a reality.

ONE PERSON CAN ONLY DO SO MUCH, BUT TOGETHER WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE

Please help us to keep Michael's dream alive, support the Michael Cuccione Foundation. Do it for the children.
