The NATIONAL CHILDREN’S LEUKEMIA FOUNDATION (NCLF) is one of the leading non-profit 501c(3) organizations in the battle against leukemia and cancer in children and adults.
The mission of the NCLF is to provide the cure for cancer and other life-threatening diseases throughout the world, and to insure that all persons, regardless of race, religion, ethnicity, gender, socioeconomic status or country of residence, have access to life-saving medical care.
The NCLF supports medical research and direct patient care programs that ease the financial, social and psychological burdens of families with a diagnosis of cancer or other serious blood disorders. Through our hotline, 1-800-GIVE-HOPE (800-448-3467), we offer comprehensive information to any caller, and provide referrals for initial testing, physicians, hospital admissions, and treatment options.
