A $25,000 donation funds the informatics program, creating an electronic database system for storage of genetic information and transmission of information to patients and doctors.

A $50,000 donation funds one year of drug distribution to ten hospitals in the POETIC network, enabling these critical medicines to get to pediatric patients across the country.

A $75,000 donation funds the evaluation of a new predictive biomarker known as exosome, which, in addition to helping clinicians more easily identify therapeutic targets, could be an inno- vative approach to overcoming the limitations of access to tumors in children.

A $100,000 donation covers the cost of the electronic database to ensure timely data entry for clinical trials each year.
