Wipe Out Kids Cancer
Wipe Out Kids' Cancer〔(Home page for Wipe Out Kids Cancer, accessed May 25, 2012 )〕 (WOKC) is a non-profit, volunteer organization based in Dallas, Texas. It has raised funds and advocated for children with cancer since 1980.
==Mission and history==
Commemorating 30 years of progress in investing in pediatric cancer research, Wipe Out Kids' Cancer has raised over $3 million in the crusade against pediatric cancer. Since being founded in 1980, the survival rates for some cancers, such as Leukemia, have increased from less than 50% to nearly 90%. Several of the top cancer initiatives are programs that WOKC has supported over the years.
For many childhood cancers, the odds of survival are still less than 50%. Cancer remains the number one disease killer of American children and the number two killer after auto accidents. Every day 46 children will be diagnosed with cancer. Of those, 7 will not survive, and of those who do survive nearly 66% will struggle with chronic medical issues brought on by the treatment of their cancer. Wipe Out Kids Cancer strives to represent kids with cancer and be an advocate for them.
