Participants of the Sankofa Freedom Academy Mini-THON® 2021 joined more than 90,000 students across the country to help conquer childhood cancer.
​
In the U.S., 16,000 children are diagnosed with cancer each year – that’s two classrooms of kids every day. Dollars raised by Sankofa Freedom Academy Mini-THON® 2021 supported some of the latest breakthroughs in childhood cancer research. Having a better understanding of how cancer works will help Four Diamonds’ researchers develop new, more effective treatments to test through clinical trials and save more lives.
​
The support received last year ensured that every Four Diamonds child, regardless of income, received the highest quality of childhood cancer care without ever seeing a bill for that care.
