Children's Cancer Association

Our Mission

At the Children's Cancer Association (CCA) we empower all seriously ill children to express themselves, to play, and to make meaningful connections by enriching their treatment experience and improving their well-being with joy-based programs.

Every moment is precious for seriously ill children and their families. Each year, we reach nearly 40,000 hospitalized children across the country — inviting them to sing, laugh, and play out loud — in order to find joy during life’s most challenging moments. Offered at no cost, our JoyRx Music, Nature and Mentorship programs prioritize the emotional well-being of hospitalized kids.
