Sky High is funding revolutionary research projects that will not only advance treatment worldwide but also move the survival rate needle forward. Between supporting the first immunotherapy center dedicated to pediatric oncology in the u.s., to funding sub-saharan doctors and health providers to train in pediatric oncology specifically to combat the abysmal survival rates in that region, to helping fund the largest research facility for pediatric cancer research in the world, Sky High for Kids is vetting and supporting projects that will have the largest impact on childhood cancer.
