Mission Statement
The Children’s Cancer Center is a non-profit organization dedicated to serving children and their families who are battling cancer or chronic blood disorders with the emotional, financial, and educational support necessary to cope with their life-threatening illness.
About This Cause
The Children’s Cancer Center (CCC) was founded in 1974 after Mac and Cecile Burnett lost their daughter to Leukemia. The Burnetts and USF physician Dr. Janifer M. Judish, envisioned an organization to help alleviate the stress of coping with a child’s life-threatening disease by providing educational, emotional, and financial support. The philosophy of our original founders was that when a child is diagnosed, the entire family is really diagnosed. Therefore, our programs and family services address the needs of all family members affected. The Children’s Cancer Center is a unique organization because it is there for families at every step of their difficult journey- from diagnosis and treatment, to survivorship and sadly, too often, bereavement. While other organizations are committed to medical treatment or to finding a cure tomorrow, the Children’s Cancer Center is committed to helping families cope today. With 30 support programs and services currently helping over 5,000 family members, and 50 years of existence and stewardship, it is evident that the Children’s Cancer Center is a crucial organization to so many families.
