There are moments in life that change everything, moments when your world comes crashing down. For pediatric cancer parents, it is the moment they hear, “Your child has cancer.” While we cannot change the diagnosis, the Pediatric Cancer Foundation of the Lehigh Valley CAN impact what comes next. We are here to catch families when everything comes crashing down. Through the social events we organize, the emotional support we offer, and the financial assistance we provide, we can promise you never feel alone in this journey. PCFLV is here…because there is more to the fight than fighting.
Embracing the Pediatric Cancer Journey, Together.
We provide compassionate, family-centered programs and services that support children and their families throughout every stage of their pediatric cancer journey in the Greater Lehigh Valley.

“Speaking from experience as a father of a child who battled this awful disease, the one thing that keeps you moving forward are those who come alongside you to support you through the journey. PCFLV has always been an amazing, caring, loving, and compassionate organization—a true beacon of hope for our son and our family. They give so much to help families fighting these same battles, not only while they are in treatment, but long after as well. We are so grateful and blessed to be part of the PCFLV family.”

These are the stories behind our mission. We invite you to follow along.

"When you hear the words your child has cancer, your world turns upside down. You feel alone and scared, but the moment PCFLV heard about Cameron's diagnosis, they reached out with love and understanding. Their generosity and support have been incredible, and we feel truly blessed to be part of their unwavering support system. The connections we've made with the PCFLV team and other local pediatric families have given us love, support, and most importantly, hope."
Cara, Cancer Mom
Until There's a Cure, There's PCFLV
