Young Associates Board
The Young Associates Board (YAB) is a tax-exempt, non-profit affiliated organization of Children's Memorial Hospital. The YAB provides hope for children with brain tumors by raising funds for research and family support services.
Pediatric brain tumors are the deadliest form of cancer in children, and are fatal for almost half of the 2,900 children diagnosed every year. Despite this fact, only $1 million is given annually to this cause by government agencies. Therefore, it is up to organizations like the YAB to provide funds to help improve the lives of children fighting this disease.
The YAB has made its mission to support the cutting edge treatments and critical research that will hopefully lead to a cure for brain tumors.
Events
Throughout the year, YAB members partner with Children's Memorial to provide service-oriented events and programs supporting the children and families in the hematology/oncology clinics.
