About Cannonball Kids' Cancer Foundation

Cannonball Kids' Cancer Foundation Inc. centers its grantmaking on pediatric cancer research that is closer to clinical use, with a clear emphasis on clinical trials, translational projects, and young investigator work. Its recent awards show a steady commitment to university and hospital researchers working on better treatments and quality of life for children with cancer. The largest recent grant in the data went to the University of California, San Francisco for pediatric cancer research, and another major award supported Johns Hopkins All Children's Hospital in St. Petersburg for the same purpose. The foundation also repeated support for Children’s Hospital Medical Center in Cincinnati across 2024 and 2025, which points to ongoing relationships rather than isolated awards. The grant profile is shaped by disease-specific biomedical funding rather than broad health philanthropy. Recent recipients include major research institutions in California, Florida, Ohio, Maryland, and Massachusetts, and the foundation’s program descriptions stress innovative studies, less-toxic treatments, and work that can improve symptoms or quality of life. Its named programs also include support for early-career investigators and clinical-trial-oriented projects, showing a preference for targeted research support over unrestricted giving.

What Cannonball Kids' Cancer Foundation Funds

In pediatric cancer research, the foundation gave $166,633 to the University of California, San Francisco for pediatric cancer research and $66,667 to Children's Hospital Medical Center in Cincinnati for pediatric cancer research.

The foundation also supports early-career research capacity. Its Young Investigator Grant is set at $100,000 and is aimed at innovative pediatric cancer research, especially projects that reduce treatment toxicity or improve quality of life and those addressing under-researched cancers or underserved populations.
