    • 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.

    During Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, we’re raising important funds for children impacted by childhood cancer.  This September, across Ontario, bright paper chains will hang in POGO partner hospitals, POGO Satellite Clinics, businesses and schools symbolizing our united commitment to support childhood cancer care in Ontario and beyond. ​


    Every $5 donation adds a virtual link to our growing chain—a powerful symbol of hope and support across the province. Help us reach our goal of 8,000 links and to raise $40,000 to make a meaningful impact. Together, we’re stronger.
