JOIN us and make a difference for kids with pediatric cancer
Sandpoint Lacrosse has officially accepted the LaCrosse Out Cancer challenge.
Lacrosse players and teams nationwide are joining forces with the Pediatric Cancer Research Foundation to raise critically needed funding for pediatric cancer research.
Forty-seven (47) children are diagnosed each day with cancer in the US, and more children under 20 are lost to cancer than any other disease.
Research takes a lot of money and progress is limited by a lack of resources. The largest single funder of research, the federal government, directs just 4 % of its cancer research budget to advancing lifesaving treatments for kids.
Caring communities like ours can help fill the gap.
​
