Elevate's Building Bridges Blog



Welcome to the Blog!

Catch up with all of the exciting ways in which Elevatehas been leading the way to bring about collaboration, educating advocates & empowering all stakeholders to be more effective for those diagnosed with childhood cancer.
Elevate believes that in order to dramatically improve treatments for children diagnosed with cancer, we must bring together all of the key people and institutions involved. Each stakeholder (e.g. parent/patient/caregiver, oncology team, academic institutions, biotech, regulatory agencies, pharmaceutical companies) possesses unique strengths, but they also each face challenges in their role to bring about new therapies. Elevate also knows that this work can’t be done by the childhood cancer community alone; the childhood cancer community desperately needsallies to join us in this critical work.
Our team regularly posts stories here about amazingfundraising efforts, research, our Elevate kids, our Patient/Advocate/Caregiver workgroups, community champions, who are raising money for the organization, and more.
Elevate’s mission of saving & improving the lives of those diagnosed with childhood cancer requires daily & informed effort.
It’s an honor to do the work.
We hope you will stay tuned to see all of the incredible ways people are already coming together around our mission to save and improve the lives of those diagnosed with a childhood cancer and contribute your time, or financially, to expedite these efforts.
