The Organization envisions a world where children do not die of cancer and do not suffer from dangerous side effects of their treatments. The Organization's funding is primarily through direct donor contributions and fundraising events. false false 2470755 1805720 The Organization was founded by Grainne and Clay Owen after they lost one of their twins to Leukemia when he was nine years old. Since the Organization was founded in 2005, the Charity has raised over $31 million. Last year alone, the Organization was able to fund 16 different projects in the US and Canada totaling $1.8 million. The Organization is different from other charities because the focus is purely on funding unique cutting-edge projects, which have led to life saving treatments. Their funding is strategically planned to cover certain areas of rapid developing research, which enables them to help the doctors to provide more effective treatments more rapidly. Making effective, less toxic treatments available when needed are crucial factors when treating children cancer. The Organization has been given the opportunity to fund the work of Dr. Stephan Grupp on Car T-Cell Therapy. It is considered that this treatment could be the basis for the future of all cancer treatment. The doctors take the child's own T-Cells (which fight normal infections like colds, etc.) and genetically re-engineer them so that they recognize the proteins that are only on the outside of Leukemia cells but not on normal cells. They put the re-engineered T-Cells back into the child so that the child's own immune system then fights their cancer without needing chemotherapy or radiation. It has had an unheard of 94% response rate in the children treated so far, most of whom are on hospice care when they receive the treatment. This treatment only costs about $25,000 per child to re-engineer the children's cells. Curing Kids Cancer has been able to see how the money they raise can actually save children's lives. 2470755 true true false false false false false false false false true false false true true true true false false false false false false false true false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 2 0 true 10 true false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 17 16 true false false false false false false true true false false true false true true true false false GA SC TX X Keven Krueger 2145199964 3617 arden Ave Brookfield IL 60513 Grainne M Owen President 40.00 0.00 X X 126082 0 0 Clayton K Owen Director 10.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Stephanie Ellenberg Secretary 5.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Brian McCue Director 5.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Caleb Tucker Chairman 5.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Kevin Krueger Treasurer 5.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Sue Gardner-Frankiewicz Director 5.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Hillary Lang Director 5.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Glen Anderson Director 15.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Carol Gwin Director 5.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Wayne Herring Director 5.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Peter Licari Director 5.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Amanda Grover Director 5.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Teddy Brown Director 5.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Brandon Gettleman Director 5.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Pierce Owen Director 5.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Caitlin Brodie Director 5.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 126082 1 false false false 0 1012451 2063015 3075466 0 42728 42728 0 0 0 0 1012451 308107 -308107 0 0 Sales/Refunds 6798 6798 6798 2816885 6798 42728 1805720 1805720 0 0 0 126082 70606 28999 26477 0 446596 250094 102717 93785 0 0 42817 23978 9847 8992 0 0 11659 11659 0 0 0 0 0 10323 3097 3613 3613 9876 7605 493 1778 0 91726 44947 33021 13758 0 0 5741 3789 1320 632 0 0 3370 1651 1213 506 5114 5114 Awareness Expenses 162087 162087 Auction Expenses 97306 84656 12650 Bank and Credit Card Fees 12934 12934 Miscellaneous 10333 3410 3513 3410 21866 9115 5049 7702 2863550 2470755 219492 173303 651532 591009 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 18230 22232 55564 47068 11866 8496 0 0 0 0 127771 54741 809399 676478 36622 24194 120269 46441 156891 70635 X 652508 605843 652508 605843 809399 676478 -46665 X false true X true false X 2105726 2550899 3461052 3068919 2063015 13249611 0 0 2105726 2550899 3461052 3068919 2063015 13249611 676103 12573508 11348 8524 11629 33973 42728 108202 0 33500 220000 253500 13611313 0.92380 0.96440 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 50004 44386 5618 5560 2682 2878 8496 Deposits 8558 Operating Lease right-of-use asset 46183 54741 Lease Liability 46441 46441 X 2816885 2816885 2816885 2863550 2863550 2863550 Part X : FIN48 Footnote The Organization is a nonprofit organization exempt from federal income taxes under Internal Revenue Code Section 501(c)(3), as amended, and classified by the Internal Revenue Service as other than a private foundation.
