Congressional Childhood Cancer Caucus

by St. Baldrick's Foundation
December 2, 2012

The Congressional Childhood Cancer Caucus, based in the U.S. House of Representatives, helps members of Congress work together to help kids with cancer and survivors. The bipartisan Caucus includes Republicans and Democrats and is co-chaired by Rep. Michael McCaul (R-TX) and Chris Van Hollen (D-MD).

The Caucus raises awareness about childhood cancer and advocates to prevent the pain, suffering, and long-term effects of childhood cancers, and ultimately, to eliminate cancer as a threat to all children.

Please encourage your representative to join the Caucus or extend thanks if he/she is already a member.  Whether you are a survivor, the family of a child with cancer, or someone who has been touched by the courage of these children and their families, please share information about your personal connection to childhood cancer with your representative.
