Together, we are bound by hope
- Cancer is the leading cause of death by disease in children in the U.S.
- Neuroblastoma, the most common solid tumor cancer in children, predominantly affects those under the age of six.
- Every year, 700 children in the U.S. are diagnosed with neuroblastoma.
- Although cure rates have finally surpassed 50% at major medical centers like MSKCC, far too many children are still dying.
Who We Are
- Band of Parents is a grassroots nonprofit led by families determined to fast-track a cure.
- We fund innovative research and clinical trials focused on less toxic, targeted therapies.
- We provide a support network for newly diagnosed families—offering hope, connection, and resources when they need it most.
- Band of Parents is the top independent sponsor of neuroblastoma research at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center.
- Having committed over $17 million to research since it’s inception, BOP has helped change the clinical landscape for this devastating form of pediatric cancer.
Driving Breakthroughs in Neuroblastoma Research
- Band of Parents is a major funder of the bivalent neuroblastoma vaccine at MSKCC, a groundbreaking treatment that has improved survival rates for hundreds of children.
- We are the largest funder of the Hu3F8 phase 1 clinical trial—a neuroblastoma-specific antibody that received FDA approval in 2020
