Unfortunately, most of the volunteer opportunities do not involve direct contact with the children due to the seriousness of their illness. Please be assured that all of these "small jobs" ultimately help the children and their families.

Why Partner?
Friends of Kids with Cancer strives to help children who are battling cancer in the St. Louis area. The money we raise stays right here in the St. Louis Metropolitan area. We also work to keep our administrative costs as low as possible. We are currently under 22% with a goal to be under 20%. We want the money we raise to go directly to the programs that help the children suffering from this terrible disease.
When you partner with “Friends” you will know you are making a difference in the lives of these special children. Each year, “Friends” helps hundreds of children battling cancer in the St. Louis area. Your support will help us continue to help these kids get through their daily struggles. You will help take a painful, depressing situation and turn it into a situation that provides smiles, laughs, and memories. By being a friend to kids with cancer, you are making a difference in the lives of these children and their families.
