The Emily Whitehead Foundation, based in Philipsburg, PA, is a non-profit organization dedicated to funding innovative and targeted treatments for childhood cancer. Founded by Tom and Kari Whitehead, the foundation focuses on supporting CAR T-cell therapy, an innovative approach that activates the patient's immune cells to fight cancer. With a mission to "Activate the Cure," the foundation aims to raise awareness, fund research, and provide support to families affected by childhood cancer.
Through their efforts, the Emily Whitehead Foundation has made a significant impact in the field of childhood cancer treatment, with Emily herself being the first child in the world to undergo CAR T-cell therapy and achieve more than ten years of cancer-free survival. By supporting research breakthroughs and clinical trials, the foundation strives to bring us one step closer to finding a cure for childhood cancer and improving the lives of young patients and their families.
