Marketing Coordinator, CFK

CancerFree KIDS is seeking a Marketing Coordinator to support the organization’s mission by creating engaging communication and marketing strategies that drive awareness and funding for childhood cancer research. In this role, you will work closely with the Marketing Director to execute campaigns, produce digital and print assets, manage web and social media presence, and ensure consistent branding across all communications. 

Who We Are

An idea, a theory, a what if. This is where all breakthroughs begin. For childhood cancer research, these are the sparks— the potentially transformative innovations— and we are the catalyst.

By funding early- stage research that might otherwise go unfunded, CancerFree KIDS gives bold ideas the opportunity to revolutionize the way we treat childhood cancer.

We understand the complexities of research funding and the barriers that can limit meaningful progress, so we exist to accelerate what's possible. As a member of our team, you will have a direct impact on researchers and the groundbreaking ideas that propel us toward our ultimate goal: a future where childhood cancer is no longer a life- threatening disease.

What We Do

When it comes to revolutionizing the way we treat childhood cancer, early- stage research is vital: the promising starting point for new and innovative ideas. But childhood cancer research, and especially early stage research, often lacks the critical funding it needs to even begin. As a result, many children with cancer are forced to use treatments that aren't designed for them, leading to other serious and chronic illnesses. We give researchers the opportunity to prove their concept and secure crucial additional funding, driving new publications, new patents, new clinical trials and even new companies focused on gentler and more effective treatments designed specifically for children with cancer.

To date, we have funded $10.85 million dollars across 240 research projects. But our impact is exponentially larger than that. With our initial funding, the most promising of these ideas were awarded over $114 million dollars in subsequent funding and fueling progress and steps to innovative therapies. We are proud of the way our investment has transformed into meaningful and measurable progress and are excited to continue to expand our impact as we fund new ideas and accelerate their life-changing potential.
