The HelpCare Foundation is a consortium of business organizations, dedicated to making ongoing significant contributions together, believing an impact can be better made by pooling resources versus individually.
The HelpCare Foundation seeks to partner with a single organization in the inaugural year; and one who embodies the same “teach a man to fish” fundamentals found in the BPO community.
About 11,050 children in the United States under the age of 15 will be diagnosed with cancer in 2020. Childhood cancer rates have been rising slightly for the past few decades.
Because of major treatment advances in recent decades, 84% of children with cancer now survive 5 years or more. Overall, this is a huge increase since the mid-1970s, when the 5-year survival rate was about 58%. Still, survival rates can vary a great deal depending on the type of cancer and other factors. The survival rates for a specific type of childhood cancer can be found in our information for that cancer type.
