THE ORGANIZATION IS DIFFERENT FROM OTHER CHARITIES BECAUSE THE FOCUS IS PURELY ON FUNDING UNIQUE CUTTING EDGE PROJECTS, WHICH HAVE LED TO LIFE SAVING TREATMENTS. THEIR FUNDING IS STRATEGICALLY PLANNED TO COVER CERTAIN AREAS OF RAPIDLY DEVELOPING RESEARCH, WHICH ENABLES THEM TO HELP THE DOCTORS TO PROVIDE MORE EFFECTIVE TREATMENTS MORE RAPIDLY. MAKING EFFECTIVE, LESS TOXIC TREATMENTS AVAILABLE WHEN NEEDED ARE CRUCIAL FACTORS WHEN TREATING CHILDREN WITH CANCER. THE ORGANIZATION HAS BEEN GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY TO FUND THE WORK OF DR. STEPHAN GRUPP ON CAR T CELL THERAPY. IT IS CONSIDERED THAT THIS TREATMENT COULD BE THE BASIS FOR THE FUTURE OF ALL CANCER TREATMENT. THE DOCTORS TAKE THE CHILD'S OWN T CELLS (WHICH FIGHT NORMAL INFECTIONS LIKE COLDS ETC.) AND GENETICALLY RE-ENGINEER THEM SO THAT THEY RECOGNIZE THE PROTEINS THAT ARE ONLY ON THE OUTSIDE OF LEUKEMIA CELLS BUT NOT ON NORMAL CELLS. THEY PUT THE RE-ENGINEERED T CELLS BACK INTO THE CHILD SO THAT THE CHILD'S OWN IMMUNE SYSTEM THEN FIGHTS THEIR CANCER WITHOUT NEEDING CHEMOTHERAPY OR RADIATION. IT HAS HAD AN UNHEARD OF 94% RESPONSE RATE IN THE CHILDREN TREATED SO FAR, MOST OF WHOM ARE ON HOSPICE CARE WHEN THEY RECEIVE THE TREATMENT. THIS TREATMENT ONLY COSTS ABOUT 25,000 PER CHILD TO RE-ENGINEER THE CHILDREN'S CELLS. CURING KIDS CANCER HAS BEEN ABLE TO SEE HOW THE MONEY THEY RAISE CAN ACTUALLY SAVE CHILDREN'S LIVES. 1910691 true true false false false false false false false false true false false false false true true false false false false false false false true false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 13 0 true 8 true false false false false false true true false false false false false false X 12 11 true false false false false false false true true false false true true true false false true true true false GA X ALAN ABRAMS 8669332873 PO BOX 862123 MARIETTA GA 30062 GRAINNE OWEN PRESIDENT 40.00 X X 61308 0 0 CLAY OWEN DIRECTOR 5.00 X 0 0 0 STEPHANIE ELLENBERG DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 HERB KOSSOVER DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 BRAD OLECKI DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 CASEY NICKELS DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 KRISTIN RINNE SECRETARY 1.00 X X 0 0 0 OWEN SHULL DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 TIM HUBAN CHAIRMAN 1.00 X X 0 0 0 BRIAN MCCUE DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 CALEB TUCKER DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 PERLEY MCBRIDE TREASURER 1.00 X X 0 0 0 ALAN ABRAMS EXECUTIVE DI 40.00 X 49808 0 0 111116 false false false 565967 1651188 2217155 147393 565967 187868 -40475 -40475 2176680 -40475 1600000 1600000 111116 71460 26054 13602 162136 81549 35568 45019 22865 12804 5156 4905 11950 11950 8822 7058 1764 11118 3450 3834 3834 6123 4701 296 1126 17744 8645 6372 2727 11310 7458 2607 1245 4019 1958 1443 618 4011 4011 OTHER FUNDRAISING EXPENSE 68361 59155 9206 PROGRAM SUPPLIES 46305 46305 TELEPHONE 7706 2312 2697 2697 BANK AND CREDIT CARD FEES 7219 7219 7807 3836 1809 2162 2108612 1910691 109016 88905 80815 109554 106292 175343 10000 60100 100 17541 14604 10150 3013 356 7137 22750 2336 1460 277440 330948 9440 24000 24000 9440 X 253440 321508 253440 321508 277440 330948 68068 X false true X true false X 964588 1161108 1278000 1537080 2217155 7157931 964588 1161108 1278000 1537080 2217155 7157931 998822 6159109 172 172 7158103 210186 0.86040 0.88510 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 10150 3013 7137 7137 X 2176680 2176680 2176680 2108612 2108612 2108612 SCHEDULE D, PAGE 3, PART X THE ORGANIZATION IS A NONPROFIT ORGANIZATION EXEMPT FROM FEDERAL INCOME TAXES UNDER INTERNAL REVENUE CODE SECTION 501(C)(3), AS AMENDED, AND CLASSIFIED BY THE INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE AS OTHER THAN A PRIVATE FOUNDATION.
