Last October Children’s Neuroblastoma Cancer Foundation (CNCF), was honored to raise more than funds at its inaugural
Hands for Hope
Charity Gala. We raised hope and optimism for dozens of families with children living with this perilous disease!
We are fighting for a cure for children like Charlie who was diagnosed with neuroblastoma November 2014 at 18 months old. He received treatment at Comer Children’s Hospital and researchers there are making strides to help him survive, thrive and be an energetic 5-year-old.
But, treatment, medical trials and research are expensive.
Your support for the
Hands for Hope
gala will help us close the research funding gaps and counter the mounting medical bills and other negative impacts of a neuroblastoma diagnosis.
Won’t you partner with us for this year’s event?
There are several ways you can help. Find ticket and sponsorship info

About CNCF and Neuroblastoma
CNCF was founded in 2000 by Pat Tallungan following the death of her son, Nicholas, at age 10 from advanced-stage neuroblastoma in 1999. Since then CNCF has funded over $2.5 million in research and have supported the needs of neuroblastoma families across the country.
Neuroblastoma is a solid tumor cancer that has a higher incidence rate in newborns and infants than leukemia. Survival rates for advanced forms of the disease are estimated at 40 percent. The average age at diagnosis is 2.
