Band of Parents is a grassroots, nonprofit organization that funds innovative research and clinical trials for neuroblastoma, helping increase the survival rate for this childhood cancer. We are a support network for the newly diagnosed and their families as they go through treatment. Our goal as parents is to fast track a cure using less toxic, targeted therapies. Since the Band of Parents was founded in 2007, we have pledged nearly $10 million dollars for neuroblastoma research. We have funded two lifesaving treatments that are now front line protocol at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center: Hu3f8 (humanized antibody) and the neuroblastoma vaccine.
