The Children’s Cancer Association (CCA)
With help from amazing community leaders, Regina Ellis and her family founded The Children’s Cancer Association in 1995, the same year her daughter Alexandra died from cancer at the age of five. Regina’s experience with her child’s extensive treatment and surgeries provided her with an understanding of what can help many children and families in medical crisis, and the areas of non-medical care that were unmet by hospitals and community organizations. The Children’s Cancer Association has had the privilege of working directly with extraordinary medical professionals in delivering a series of innovative programs and services. Now in its fourteenth year, CCA is recognized as a national leader, and a friend to tens of thousands of seriously ill children and their families.
