Pediatric Oncology Group of Ontario (POGO)

There are over 4,300 families currently residing in Ontario with a child in cancer treatment or follow-up care each year. Over 80% of children diagnosed with cancer in Ontario will survive, but many of these survivors will experience complications either due to the disease itself, complex surgical procedures, or the rigorous rounds of radiation and chemotherapy they were given during treatment.

The funds raised will provide financial assistance to families so they can pay for out-of-pocket costs associated with their child’s treatment, support survivors with customized school and work counselling when their disease or its treatment has left them with learning challenges, and fund promising research that examines the impact of childhood cancer and its treatment. 

Meet the Wynette’s and learn how they were supported by POGO through their childhood cancer journey.
