Awareness = Funding= A Cure. Join Painted Planet during First Friday for the 2nd annual Childhood Cancer Awareness Art Show. Drop in to see some terrific art, enjoy refreshments, music and get the best lemonade around from our Alex Lemonade stand hosted by one of our brave warriors.

Did you know Childhood Cancer gets the least funds for all research?

Less than 1%—percentage of research and development budget pharmaceutical companies allocate for childhood cancer treatments.

60%— percentage of research and development budget pharmaceutical companies allocate for adult cancer treatments.

4%—percentage of National Cancer Institute (NCI) budget dedicated to childhood cancers

50%—percentage of children’s chemotherapy treatments that were developed more than 25 years ago.

As evidenced by these telling statistics, childhood cancer research consistently remains underfunded.

See some art from our community's smallest yet bravest warriors and help them fight!
