What Midwest Athletes Against Childhood Cancer Inc does
Mission
Midwest athletes against childhood cancer, inc.'s mission is to find a cure for childhood cancer and related blood disorders by providing critical funding for research.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Program
Midwest athletes against childhood, inc. (the macc fund) supports research into the effective treatment and cure of pediatric cancer and related blood disorders. Cancer is the leading disease-related cause of death in children after the newborn period. Macc fund support comes through various fundraising projects, events, and programs. During its over 46-year history, the macc fund has contributed over $82 million to pediatric cancer research, playing an important role in helping to increase overall cure rates from 20% to 80%. Events benefiting the macc fund held throughout the year create and maintain an awareness of the continuing need for pediatric cancer research. As federal research funding is reduced, support like the macc fund's becomes more critical.
