Our mission at Fourth and Gold is to find the most promising research that will lead to more humane cures for childhood cancer.
Currently, The National Institute of Health only provides 4% of all research funding to childhood cancer. With limited funding, advancements have been scarce -- only 3 new treatments have been developed since 1980 for childhood cancers. As their best option for treatment, many children are suffering through harsh clinical studies that cause life-altering short-term and long-term damage to their health. Even when treatments are successful at eliminating cancer, the dramatic negative effects caused as a result are severe.
Children with cancer and their families are far overdue for more humane cures and Fourth and Gold believes that finding and funding the most promising research is the best way to move the ball down the field. Discovering every possible cure may be a long journey, but every marginal advancement has an exponential and immediate impact on the lives of children and their families who are desperate for hope and progress.
Since becoming a non-profit, Fourth and Gold has given over $351,000 for childhood cancer research.
Fourth and Gold officially became certified as a 501c3 non-profit organization in July 2020 in order to begin selecting and funding its own research grants. Much of the team is comprised of healthcare professionals that are on the frontlines of oncological practice, helping children and their families battle cancer everyday. Fourth and Gold is uniquely qualified to identify the most pressing needs and select the most promising research upon review. This ensures that all funding will generate the greatest possible results, as opposed to being allocated in a way that is less probable to generate new advancements.
