Snowdrop’s mission: To provide scholarships to college bound pediatric cancer patients and survivors while raising awareness and funding for continued research to cure childhood cancer. All of Snowdrop Wisconsin’s funds stay within the state.
60% of Snowdrop’s funds are directed towards clinical trial research at Children’s Hospital of Wisconsin. Our board of seven works directly with the hospital and selects which clinical trial to fund each year. These clinical trials serve as a child’s last hope for treatment if they are not responding to the typical treatment protocols.
40% of Snowdrop’s funds are directed towards our scholarship program. Each year, high school seniors who are either currently receiving cancer treatment or are cancer survivors apply for a scholarship through our online portal. We see this as the light at the end of the tunnel, a promise that we can deliver upon, and a heartwarming experience to see a childhood cancer survivor continue with their life dreams!
One of our motos: Putting one foot in front of the other to end childhood cancer! The virtual event certainly ties into this phrase and we hope that you all stay active while supporting such an impactful cause.
