When 17-year-old Carson Leslie lost his battle with brain cancer, his final wish to help the next kid became our relentless mission.
Today, cancer remains the #1 disease killer of children in America. Brain cancers, which account for 26% of all childhood cancers, are responsible for 30% of all childhood cancer deaths. Yet, treatment for medulloblastoma hasn't meaningfully changed in over 30 years, forcing young bodies to endure brutal, toxic therapies.
At the Carson Leslie Foundation, we are changing that reality through three focused pillars: Research, Encouragement, and Advocacy.
With your support, we're giving these kids the fighting chance they deserve.
Giving Activity
Mission
Carson Leslie Foundation's mission is to help more kids fight cancer by funding critical, life-saving medulloblastoma and pediactric brain cancer research, supporting the lives of kids and teens in the fight, and giving them a voice on the federal level.
Needs
Funding is our single greatest bottleneck to saving young lives. While our top priority is raising dollars to propel breakthrough brain tumor research forward, we also urgently need support to fund our patient encouragement programs that lift the spirits of hospitalized kids facing brutal treatments. We cannot advance treatments or brighten a kid's hospital stay without your generosity.
Equity Statement
Because childhood cancer affects families across all ethnic groups, socioeconomic backgrounds, and geographic regions, the Carson Leslie Foundation is committed to supporting children and families from every community, regardless of their background or location.
The Carson Leslie Foundation is a 501(c)3 based out of Dallas, TX.
