SAM’S MISSION “To help all the kids.” Sam wanted nothing more than to take the pain away from All the Kids in their fight. He was always concerned for the kids around him, more than himself. It was his mindset that we are founded on today.

It was our final promise to Sam to fight for All the Kids. We will continue to fight by providing comfort, support, awareness and research to pediatric cancer.

Join Us! Friends and Supporters, everyday, we are Planting the Seeds of Hope, and we would like to celebrate with you!

It has been nearly nine years since we began Sam's wish to help "All the Kids." This year's event is, by far, the most meaningful as we share on the progress of the grants we have funded, the advocacy work that is making strides toward real change, and of course, awareness and support for Heroes in the Fight and their families.

Thank YOU for helping us keep this promise to Sam for the past 9 years. We recognize our mission is made possible thanks to our generous supporters that continue to show up for "all the kids."

We are a 501(c)3 pediatric cancer foundation with a mission focused on raising awareness, funding research, and supporting families in the fight. We are determined to fight for All the Kids. Less than 8% of the National Cancer Institute’s funding supports our kids in the fight of their lives. Sam’s form of cancer, Rhabdomyosarcoma, receives much less than 1%. Please join our mission to fight for All the Kids through research, comfort, support and awareness.

We are a 501(c)3 non-profit in the fight against childhood cancer. We work to support our heroes through awareness, advocacy, and research funding.

Today, Ava’s Avengers were on Capitol Hill in Wa Today, Ava’s Avengers were on Capitol Hill in Washington D.C. for a whirlwind <24 hour advocacy trip with @kidsv_cancer 

In December, the federal cuts left a massive impact on the childhood cancer community and its ability to push research progress forward. After months of sending emails and meeting with reps locally, these Avengers were determined to do what they can to help get the Give Kids a Chance 2.0 Act 2025, HR1262 passed. 

Please, will you join these teens and use your voice for all the kids? Help us get this passed - lives ARE depending on it. 

We are immensely proud of our Avengers, who sacrificed a lot at home to be in DC for less than 24 hours, because they “get it” and know change is necessary.
