At CancerFree KIDS we do one thing; we fund innovative research in search of gentler treatments and cures for kids with cancer. Each year at the CancerFree KIDS' Butterfly Walk, families, friends and co-workers form teams to celebrate survivors, remember those for whom a cure did not come soon enough and raise money in support of our kids and our mission to end childhood cancer.
We hope you will join us at our 2024 event, held at the Cincinnati Zoo again this year! Check back soon for details!
