The mission of The Four
Diamonds Fund is to conquer childhood cancer by assisting children treated at
Penn State Children's Hospital and their
families through superior care, comprehensive support, and innovative
research.
Any family with a child being treated for pediatric cancer at Penn State
Children's Hospital in Hershey is automatically eligible for support.
The Fund has helped more than 2,000 families since 1972. Approximately 90 new
families receive support each year.
The Fund
offsets the cost of treatment that
insurance does not cover, as well as
expenses that may disrupt the welfare of
the child, such as car repairs, rent, or
household utilities. The Fund supports
the medical team that cares for the
children and funds pediatric cancer
research through start-up grants and the
Four Diamonds Pediatric Cancer Research
Institute.
