Children’s Cancer Cause
Survivorship Champion’s Prize
Application Deadline: July 31, 2024
Children’s Cancer Cause is now accepting applications for the 2024 Survivorship Champion’s Prize. This $10,000 annual award is presented to a group, program or institution making significant advances in programs and services to provide life-long health maintenance for survivors of pediatric cancers.
Established in 2020, the Survivorship Champion’s Prize has awarded a total of $85,000 in funds to prestigious survivorship programs around the country that are doing groundbreaking work to improve the long-term outlook for survivors. In 2023, the Prize was awarded to City of Hope’s Childhood, Adolescent and Young Adult (AYA) Cancer Survivorship Program. More information about former award recipients can be found on our website: 2020, 2021, 2022, and 2023 winners.
These awards recognize the importance of programs to serve the unique challenges associated with the post-treatment services for survivors, especially as they transition to non-oncology adolescent and/or adult health care services. The Survivorship Champion’s Prize is a component of the Stewart Initiative for Childhood Cancer Survivors, an educational program of the Children’s Cancer Cause. To leverage expertise among Prize recipients, Children’s Cancer Cause has been working with previous winners to share information to identify common clinical issues that can best be addressed through collaboration. The 2024 Prize recipient will have the opportunity to become a part of this collective effort.
The deadline to apply is July 31, 2024. The Champion’s Prize winner will be announced in September 2024. If you have questions, please contact Julie Taylor at jtaylor@childrenscause.org.
