OncoThon 2024 Raises $1.3 Million for Pediatric Cancer Research
The inaugural Global OncoThon, hosted by OncoDaily on February 15th, 2024, marked a monumental step forward in the fight against childhood cancer. Held on International Childhood Cancer Day, this 24-hour live-streamed event brought together over 100 speakers from 40 countries, uniting global leaders, researchers, survivors, and advocates in a shared mission.
Thanks to the collective effort of participants, donors, and supporters, the OncoThon successfully raised $1.3 million. These vital funds will support Oncoheroes Biosciences in launching an international clinical trial to evaluate the potential of volasertib, a promising treatment for five pediatric cancer types.
This achievement reflects the power of collaboration and commitment across borders. The funds raised will help turn hope into action, advancing pediatric oncology research and bringing us closer to a future where no child has to face cancer alone.
Thank you to everyone who contributed to this incredible milestone. Together, we’re making a lasting impact for children worldwide.
Stay tuned for updates on the trial and next year’s OncoThon 2025!
