Help The Purple Society

One hundred percent of the donor gifts to The Purple Society are spent on helping families get the information and advocacy needed to fight this disease. Other private grants do and will continue to underwrite our
infrastructure and fundraising efforts.

The Purple Society

The Purple Society is a registered 501c3 nonprofit foundation.
Our Mission: To change the prognosis of pediatric cancers; while connecting families of childhood cancer patients worldwide with resources, hope, and inspiration.

Why Help The Purple Society?

We focus ONLY on childhood cancer. While increasing survival rates in childhood cancer is one of the greatest achievements of modern medicine, there remain childhood cancers where there has been little or no progress. Remarkably, in 2011 childhood cancer was the most common lethal disease of American children over the age one.
