Snowdrop Scholarship Program
Teen Program
The Teen Program is a support program for teenage patients within the Cancer Center. The teen support group plans activities for teenagers, publishes a newsletter and provides an outlet for teens to express their feelings.
Research
In just forty-five years, the overall survival rate for children with cancer has increased from 10% to 70%. Thirty percent still need our help, as well as the help of scientists, researchers and doctors.
That help will come from Snowdrop Foundation’s Childhood Cancer Research contribution.
