P.U.N.T. Pediatric Cancer Collaborative

Childhood cancer poses a threat to every facet of family life. There is a tidal wave of hardship – physical, financial, and emotional – that can last a lifetime. That’s where we come in.

From the first day of diagnosis to recovery – and even in the unthinkable wake of a loss – this organization is honored to be the “go to” source of assistance in Western New York through our 6 distinct programs. We work beside hospital psychosocial partners to ensure every dollar we raise gets channeled where it is most needed. By doing so, we ease burdens, bring relief, heal hearts, lift spirits, and allow parents to focus on what matters most: being there for their sick child.

And “we” means you. P.U.N.T. is a public charity that serves as a conduit for your compassionate generosity. With your help, WNY families who must hear the words “your child has cancer” know that they don’t walk this journey alone, and the support they need most is ready and waiting for them. The P.U.N.T. acronym stands for Perseverance, Understanding, Need and Teamwork.

With passionate staff and leadership and abiding financial support from the WNY community, P.U.N.T.’s programs have grown significantly in both scope and impact over the past six years, making the nonprofit organization a well-respected and heavily relied upon source of assistance for local families dealing with the effects of pediatric cancer.

THE MISSION OF P.U.N.T. PEDIATRIC CANCER COLLABORATIVE IS TO PROVIDE CRITICAL AND COMPREHENSIVE FINANCIAL, EMOTIONAL AND PRACTICAL SUPPORT TO FAMILIES FACING A PEDIATRIC CANCER DIAGNOSIS AND TO SERVE AS A SOURCE OF HOPE AND HEALING FOR THE BEREAVED.

OUR VISION: P.U.N.T. PEDIATRIC CANCER COLLABORATIVE WILL ALLEVIATE DAILY BURDENS FOR EVERY FAMILY FACING A PEDIATRIC CANCER DIAGNOSIS AND PROVIDE COMPASSIONATE, ABIDING SUPPORT TO THOSE WHO SUFFER A LOSS.
