$1 Million in Research Funded to Date

CancerFree KIDS is very proud to announce that we have crossed the $1 million mark in lifesaving research funded since our inception. According to Executive Director Ellen Flannery
“This is truly a milestone for us. Since 2004, we have funded 44 promising research projects,
moving us closer to a cure…and we are just getting started. We are so grateful to everyone
who has supported us – it is you that makes this funding possible.”

This month, $180,000 in grants was awarded to a record number of research projects at
Cincinnati Children’s Hospital. And for the first time, a grant of $20,000 was given to
promising research happening at the University of Miami/Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer
Center. “This is the first grant we have given outside of Cincinnati, inspired by the support of
Miami-area fundraisers such as Reason to Run and Reason to Race. We are excited about
the new partnership and grateful for the support of Miami-area individuals and sponsors!”
In addition, CancerFree KIDS was one of the sponsors of a Pediatric Brain Cancer
Symposium at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital that brought together researchers from all over
the world to collaborate. Some of the research that results from this symposium will be funded
jointly by the sponsoring organizations. We believe this is a new model for funding research in
a more impactful way, leveraging our donors’ dollars and escalating the search for a cure. For
more information on all research projects, please visit www.cancerfreekids.org.
Thank you to our Sponsors!

This new initiative by CancerFree KIDS in partnership with
the Flying Pig Marathon, is open to any Greater Cincinnatiarea non-profit organization to use as a fundraiser. You are
going to want to be part of the FUN! Simply go to
www.piggestraffle.org to adopt a PIG for $5 – you could
win a 2-year lease on a Toyota Prius! The winning PIG will
be chosen by a Big Pig Drop on Fountain Square the
evening before the marathon (April 30), and there are more
chances to win during the marathon. Please be sure to
choose CancerFree KIDS to benefit from your purchase.
