KinderKrebsForschung

The Society for Children’s Cancer Research (Gesellschaft für KinderKrebsForschung e. V., or GKKF) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to advancing research into cancer affecting children. It highlights that babies and children are not simply small adults and need cancer therapies developed specifically for them. Through its research funding, project support and public engagement, GKKF works to help improve treatment options and prospects for children with cancer.

The organization provides information about childhood cancer, including diagnosis, therapies and prognoses, and shares updates on current and completed research projects. It invites individuals and businesses to support its work through direct donations, memberships, corporate partnerships, fundraising events and other giving options, including gifts in place of presents, bequests, fines and donations in memory of someone. GKKF also encourages community participation and offers a mobile photo exhibition about a day on a children’s cancer ward to support fundraising activities. Online donations are handled through its partner betterplace.org.
