Support organization
Hawaii Children’s Cancer Foundation provides free support to children diagnosed with cancer, their families, and long-term survivors. Current official pages describe preliminary financial-assistance intake for a child treated in Hawaii or a Hawaii-domiciled child treated elsewhere, Kokua Baskets for newly diagnosed families, book reimbursement for survivors in college or vocational training, an annual Frank Seleny scholarship, and workshops or family events. The current site omits financial limits and detailed workflow that appeared in an unlinked 2020 document, so those legacy limits are not treated as current.
Assists, supports, and advocates for children diagnosed with cancer, their families, and long-term survivors in Hawaii.
