?UPDATED 10/16: The Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation Needs E.A.R.S. (edu, advocacy, research, support)?

[phoenixfire01 Resident]

Hey Poison, think you should make this an Annual Auction to raise funds and awareness. Maybe even branch out into other communities too but have KC as primary. Just a thought

[LyricaBlues Resident]

actually you are right. I do fund raise for this cause for many years for obvious reasons. Never thought to do it inworld. And I have gotten donations from server Non Kitty people about this. You wont believe some of the things that will be sold at a table I will set up on the "docks" near my SNP stage. Gorgeous clothing, footwear, jewelry etc.

Why Is This Such An Important Event?

FACT: "NCI spends 96% of its budget on adult cancers and only 4% of its budget on children’s cancers.
In dollar terms, NCI’s funding for pediatric clinical trials is $26.4 million while funding for AIDS research is $254 million, and breast cancer is $584 million. Pharmaceutical companies don’t commit resources to childhood cancer research because the adult cancer drug business is viewed as more profitable and less risky to them"

FACT: "13,500 children 19 and under diagnosed each year in the US.
36 children diagnosed each day.
175,058 children are diagnosed each year worldwide (age 0-14)"

FACT: "In 20 years the FDA has initially approved only two drugs for any childhood cancer – 1/2 of all chemotherapies used for children’s cancers are over 25 years old Research and development for new drugs from pharmaceutical companies comprises 60% of funding for adult cancer drugs and close to zero for childhood cancers."
