Our programs
What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
Coins for Kids with Cancer
A peer to peer fundraising program that is held in schools, businesses and communities to raise the important funds for childhood cancer research in the United States as well as provide in-patient programs for children with cancer. Help us make a CHANGE for children fighting cancer.
KidzBinz Program
Activity Boxes are provided to children who are in-patient for childhood cancer treatment. The activity boxes average $250 each and we work with the children's hospitals who are providing in-patient pediatric cancer treatment. The child life departments are key for our organization to work with to identify the greatest needs for the children who are in the hospital for their treatment. The activities include books, games, toys, musical instruments, sensory items, craft kits, puzzles and more. These age appropriate items are for all pediatric oncology patients and range from infants to age 18.
Research Grants
TeamConnor's fundraising goes to research and clinical trials for pediatric cancer within the United States. We are nearing the $6M mark of funding that we have distributed since the inception of our organization.

Charting impact
Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.
What is the organization aiming to accomplish?
TeamConnor Childhood Cancer Foundation raises the important funds to make grants to children's hospitals nationwide for childhood cancer research. We envision a day where children have their childhoods returned to them and they have the necessary treatment without long lasting effects. Until then, we will stand in the gap to fund pediatric oncology grants within the United States. We will also continue to ensure that pediatric cancer in-patient programs are funded such as our KidzBinz program. Help us beat childhood cancer!
What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?
TeamConnor Childhood Cancer Foundation raises the important funds to make grants to children's hospitals nationwide for childhood cancer research. Our organization is raising the needed funds from individuals, foundations, and corporations for our important mission to fund pediatric cancer clinical trials and research within the United States.
What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?
We have a robust board of directors, advisory board and medical advisory board members who are key leadership volunteers for our organization. TeamConnor has a lean staff of two full-time staff members with an Executive Director at the helm who has a dynamic nonprofit leadership and fundraising background spanning two decades. Our special event fundraisers held throughout the year involve and engage members in communities around the United States so that we are equipped to fund the needed and important childhood cancer research grants annually.
What have they accomplished so far and what's next?
To date, we have funded almost $6M in important pediatric cancer research grants to over 24 children's hospitals within the United States since the formation of our organization in 2008. We have a minimal staff overhead of two full-time staff members who execute and implement the day to day strategies and operations for the organization. The research grants that we have funded are important for children who are on the journey that no child should be on with childhood cancer. Our impatient program of the KidzBinz program has expanded four fold in the past 3 years because of support and generosity from the community. We rely on funds from individuals, foundations and corporations for our important mission.

TEAMCONNOR CANCER FOUNDATION
Balance sheetFiscal Year: Jan 01 - Dec 31
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.
