Mission

Band of Parents is a 501 (c) (3) grassroots, nonprofit organization that funds innovative research and clinical trials for neuroblastoma, helping increase the survival rate for this childhood cancer. We are a support network for the newly diagnosed and their families as they go through treatment. Our goal as parents is to fast track a cure using less toxic, targeted therapies. In the past decade, Band of Parents has expanded its advocacy, funding research in several major cancer centers throughout the United States. Band of Parents has committed more than $10 million to neuroblastoma research.

Notes from the nonprofit

Since our founding in 2007, Band of Parents has raised more than $10 million to fund innovative and life-saving research and clinical trials for neuroblastoma patients.

What we aim to solve

SOURCE: Self-reported by organization

Band of Parents is a grassroots, nonprofit organization that funds innovative research and clinical trials for neuroblastoma, helping increase the survival rate for this childhood cancer. We are a support network for the newly diagnosed and their families as they go through treatment. Our goal as parents is to fast track a cure using less toxic, targeted therapies. Band of Parents' mission is to seek projects that have already been examined in the lab and are in need of assistance to rapidly move into a patient population. The sad fact is that due to the high cost of research and the small number of children diagnosed annually, pediatric cancer is severely underfunded by both the pharmaceutical industry and the federal government. Less than 4% of the National Cancer Institute's funding goes to fight pediatric cancer. We support our members through their children's battle with neuroblastoma, and will continue this fight until not a single child is lost to this disease.

Parent Support Group

The Band of Parents offers members a private online group to share information and discuss issues around caring for a child with neuroblastoma.

Adults

Clinical Trial of Bivalent Vaccine for High-Risk Neuroblastoma

Band of Parents is funding this ongoing Memorial Sloan Kettering clinical trial to provide this vaccine to children in remission -- making this highly effective treatment part of the front line treatment to keep children in remission longer. Our goal is to prevent relapse of high-risk neuroblastoma patients in first remission after completion of standard of care, using the bivalent vaccine plus beta-glucan. This could prove to be a groundbreaking trial with the potential to change the treatment of neuroblastoma. The results have been outstanding –– and vaccine is now first line therapy for high risk patients.

Prevention of Ototoxicity in Children with Neuroblastoma

Partner with Montefiore Health Systems to study the prevention of hearing loss affecting children with neuroblastoma, who are being treated with cisplatin chemotherapy. Cisplatin and other platinum-based drugs are highly effective and widely used in the treatment of pediatric tumors, including neuroblastoma. However, about 60 percent of young patients receiving cisplatin therapy suffer hearing loss due to the death of cochlear outer hair cells of the ear. This study aims to reduce hearing loss while maintaining the efficacy of cisplatinum.

Population(s) Served

Non-adult children

Phase 1 Study of 131-1 mIBG, Nivolumab and ch14.18/CHO in relapsed/refractory neuroblastoma

Phase I clinical trial for ALK-driven neuroblastoma. Lorlatinib, an investigational drug candidate currently in late stage clinical development for the treatment of lung cancer, may also
prove effective in treating neuroblastoma. In a collaborative effort among several like-minded nonprofits, we helped to fund this International Phase 1 clinical trial that will be available across 14 US hospitals in the NANT consortium, as well as two European sites in the UK and France.

Population(s) Served

Non-adult children

Free Blood Pressure Monitors

Band of Parents is providing free blood pressure monitors for our members, and helping them save a trip to the hospital by monitoring their children's blood pressure remotely.

Goals & Strategy

Charting impact

Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.

What is the organization aiming to accomplish?

Our goal is to find a cure for neuroblastoma, while reducing the highly toxic nature of treatment -- which in itself can lead to death or permanent disability, such as cognitive and hearing deficits.

What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?

The goal and the mission of the Band of Parents is to cure neuroblastoma and to get drugs or therapies into the clinic as soon as possible. Rather than funding initial research, our goal is to take what has already come out of the test tube and get it into the clinic, so children can be saved and made healthier as fast as possible.

What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?

Since the Band of Parents was founded in 2007, we have raised more than $10 million dollars for neuroblastoma research. We have funded two lifesaving treatments that are now front line protocol at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center: Hu3f8 (humanized antibody) and the neuroblastoma vaccine. Today, we are funding research on a more effective antibody so that someday antibodies can replace chemotherapy, which has such deadly effect. Antibodies have no long term side effect that we know of today. They help your body learn to fight the cancer itself. We fund the most promising clinical trials at major cancer centers worldwide, including Memorial Sloan Kettering, Children's Hospital of Los Angeles, Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, and hospitals in Europe.

What have they accomplished so far and what's next?

When Band of Parents began in 2007, treatment options for neuroblastoma were limited, and survival rates daunting. Today, thanks to research we have funded, the clinical landscape has profoundly changed. Our funding and support of Hu3F8 and vaccine has helped push survival rates to above 50%, (closer to 70% at major cancer centers like Sloan Kettering). Hu3F8 was FDA approved in late 2020, which means distribution will expand and more patients can receive this life-saving treatment.

Balance sheet

Fiscal Year: Jan 01 - Dec 31

SOURCE: IRS Form 990 info

The balance sheet gives a snapshot of the financial health of an organization at a particular point in time. An organization's total assets should generally exceed its total liabilities, or it cannot survive long, but the types of assets and liabilities must also be considered. For instance, an organization's current assets (cash, receivables, securities, etc.) should be sufficient to cover its current liabilities (payables, deferred revenue, current year loan, and note payments). Otherwise, the organization may face solvency problems. On the other hand, an organization whose cash and equivalents greatly exceed its current liabilities might not be putting its money to best use.
