Childhood Cancer Society (CCS) is a national 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to supporting families battling pediatric cancer both financially and emotionally. Through fundraising events, wish-grant experiences, and community partnerships, CCS brings hope, joy, and meaningful moments to children and families when they need it most—led by our official spokes-bear, Adventure Ted.
