Circle of Discovery

The goal of the American Cancer Society’s “Circle of Discovery” is to recognize corporations, companies, and foundations for their support to end cancer as we know it, for everyone.

​Circle of Discovery donations will fund Pediatric Cancer Research.

• Cancer is the second most common cause of death among children ages 1 to 14. Accidents are the most common cause. The cancer incidence rate for children has been increasing slightly since the mid-1970s, with the trends varying by cancer type. However, cancer death rates in children have declined 71% since 1970. These reductions are largely due to improvements in treatment and more children taking part in clinical trials.
• Children, Birth to age 14:

oLeukemia is the most common childhood cancer.

oBrain or other tumors in the nervous system are the second-most common cancer in children.

• In children ages 15-19:

oBrain or other tumors in the nervous system are the most common cancer in adolescents.

oLymphoma is in the second-most common cancer in adolescents.

• The American Cancer Society is currently funding 58 grants, investing $39M in funding.
