    • OUR PARTNERS ACCROSS ONTARIO

    ​WE CHAMPION CHILDHOOD CANCER CARE


    The Pediatric Oncology Group of Ontario (POGO) ensures that everyone affected by childhood cancer has access to the best possible care and support—from a child’s diagnosis, through treatment and into survivorship. For now, for life. 

    We commit to ongoing care, knowing that childhood cancer survivors endure medical challenges into adulthood. We advance care for all children and youth with cancer through our pioneering database and research program. 

    POGO runs exemplary programs and services and develops clinical resources that have been adopted or modelled nationally and internationally across various areas of care.

    2026 LINKED For Life Sponsors 

    LINKED for Life is more than a fundraising campaign — it’s a powerful symbol of connection, compassion, and community for children and families affected by childhood cancer across Ontario.

    This September, during Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, bright paper chains will hang in POGO partner hospitals, Satellite Clinics, schools, and businesses across the province. Each colourful link represents a person standing together in support of childhood cancer care and a reminder that no family faces this journey alone.

    At the centre of this full circle of care is POGO, connecting children, youth, families, healthcare teams, hospitals, and communities from diagnosis through treatment, survivorship, and beyond. POGO is the link that helps ensure families receive the support and care they need every step of the way.

    Now, we’re asking Ontario to help us grow this virtual chain of support across the province. Every $5 donation adds a virtual link to our growing chain and helps us work toward our goal of 8,000 links and $40,000 raised in support of children and families impacted by childhood cancer.

    Together, we are LINKED for Life.
