Youth Fundraising & Leadership Program Opportunities
The National Foundation for Cancer Research through its Youth Fundraising & Leadership Program provides students with the opportunity to make a significant impact on the fight against cancer.
Through the Youth Fundraising & Leadership Program, NFCR engages and empowers students of all ages to use their time and talents to raise critical funds to accelerate cancer research. Participants represent students across the globe active in sports, music, the arts, gaming and more. They learn the values of generosity, responsibility and leadership, while they make a real impact on discovering new treatments and a cure for cancer—all cancers.
