Join Us as We Drive to $35,000,000!

Come on our journey as we raise and contribute $35 million for childhood cancer and related blood disorders research.

In the fight against childhood cancer and related blood disorders, funding for research is essential. Join us as we seek to accelerate research in Wisconsin, and in turn, the world. Our aim is to raise and contribute $25 million to Children’s Wisconsin and the Medical College of Wisconsin, as well as $10 million to the UW Carbone Cancer Center. Our #Driveto35 campaign will accelerate the discovery of safer and more effective treatments, therefore improving the quality of life for children.

Thanks to our generous donors, sponsors, participants and volunteers, the MACC Fund has contributed nearly $70 MILLION DOLLARS to childhood cancer and related blood disorders research. The MACC Fund’s mission is to find a cure for childhood and related blood disorders by providing funding for research. Successful protocols and treatments developed in Wisconsin have become the standard for patient care across not only the United States – but around the world. Our newest #Driveto35 research acceleration campaign will fund the following:
