The Batcole Foundation is a public 501(c)3 non-profit, that is committed to raising funds for research to develop novel, superior therapies for neuroblastoma and other pediatric cancers. Together with our foundation board, specialized pediatric cancer treatment centers, and physicians, our goal is to identify clinical therapies that have the most promising clinical blueprints for success.
They hope to bring awareness of how underfunded pediatric cancer research is to individuals, families, schools, and communities. We want these groups to partner with the Batcole Foundation to raise funding and awareness to fill this gap.
They also want to support families and centers where Cole was treated by decorating hospitals and treatment rooms for kids to brighten the lives of these kids and families who have to go to the hospital for treatment. Â
The Batcole Foundation provides fun, decorative Band-Aids through its Band-Aid program, and toys to hospitals and treatment centers throughout the year.
To help fund the research of childhood cancer treatments, you can donate to the Batcole Foundation HERE or by finding it on their website.
