CureFest 2021 Update!
CureFest will be in-person and virtual in 2021!
Thank you for being a voice for children fighting cancer - this is especially important during the ongoing pandemic! With this in mind, the 10th Annual CureFest for Childhood Cancer will take place in a hybrid format on September 23 - 26, 2021.

There will be an in-person event in Washington, DC, as well as an interactive virtual format that will allow families from across the world to participate from home. Key parts of the in-person event will also be professionally live-streamed on September 25 and 26.

The safety of our attendees is paramount, and we will be following CDC guidelines and recommendations at the time of the event.

Building on the success of last year's virtual event, CureFest 2021 will be celebrated in all 50 US States and over 55 (and counting) countries! Childhood cancer families and advocates will be connected through a mobile app, which will allow them to chat, share photos, and participate in challenges throughout the month of September.

If you have not already registered, we encourage you to sign up today!

Thank you for your commitment to the cause. Please feel free to reach out to us with any questions.

Kind regards, The CureFest Team
