Support organization

Go4theGoal Foundation

Go4theGoal works through pediatric oncology hospitals across the United States. Hospital social workers or child-life staff submit requests for household bills, treatment travel, tuition or enrichment, and wishes, with a published 24-hour response target. Participating hospitals also distribute Kart 4 Kids comfort items, holiday Adopt-a-Family gifts, and back-to-school backpacks. Families cannot use a public application and should ask their treating hospital team whether it participates.
