Giselle Sholler, Division Chief of Pediatric Hematology/Oncology/BMT at Penn State Health, shared a post on LinkedIn:
“As we closed out 2025, we were granted a $3Million donation from Beat Childhood Cancer Foundation supporting our Beat Childhood Cancer Research Consortium at Penn State College of Medicine!!!
The Beat Childhood Cancer Foundation founded by Patrick Lacey has supported our efforts for close to 20 years!! I am humbled at their continued belief in our team – together we have brought new therapies forward (including FDA approval of DFMO) and have advanced precision medicine for children with cancer across the globe. With the support from Beat Childhood Cancer Foundation we have been able to bring forward every new technology starting 15 years ago from mRNA arrays to DNA panels to Whole Exome DNA and RNA transcriptome of patient tumors, blood, CSF to discuss genomics of our patient tumors in depth in our international molecular tumor boards to find the right therapy for each child.
Our next chapter includes more targeted therapies, catheter delivered therapies in DIPG, and personalized vaccines/immunotherapy. This funding will help us and all our collaborators to achieve these goals.
Let’s make 2026 even better please support the Beat Childhood Cancer Foundation and together we will find a cure for all childhood cancers!!”
