Making a Meaningful Impact In the Fight Against Pediatric Cancer
Join The McConnell Foundation in our mission to improve lives by providing funding for pediatric cancer research.
Who We Are
Our Mission
We are dedicated to supporting research for the development of safer, more effective therapies for pediatric cancer patients.
Since the cure of our son, Bodhi, from high-risk neuroblastoma in 2018, we have dedicated our efforts and funding toward Dr. Jacqueline Kraveka’s research efforts.
“Neuroblastoma is one of the most aggressive pediatric tumors that we see. It’s one of the most common solid tumors we see but also has one of the worst prognoses. About half of children who are diagnosed with this tumor have high-risk neuroblastoma, and survival is only about 50%,”
-Dr. Kraveka
