When seriously ill children and their families need more than medicine, CCA is there in the hospital and at home with award-winning programs powered by a compassionate community.
With help from amazing community leaders, Regina Ellis and her family founded the Children’s Cancer Association in 1995, the same year her daughter Alexandra died from cancer at the age of five. Regina’s experience with her child's extensive treatment and surgeries provided her with
an understanding of what can help many children and
families in medical crisis, and the areas of non-medical care that were unmet by hospitals and community organizations. The Children’s Cancer Association has had the privilege of working
directly with extraordinary medical professionals
in delivering a series of innovative programs and
services. Now in its thirteenth year, CCA is recognized
as a national leader, and a friend to tens of thousands of
seriously ill children and their families.
