McDONALD'S KIDS FOR THE CURE®

Helping children cope when a parent is diagnosed with breast cancer

•  Kids for the Cure® was created to educate children from kindergarten through sixth grade about breast cancer and to support children being affected by breast cancer. Many children know someone who has been touched by breast cancer -- a parent, grandparent, teacher or friend. Kids for the Cure® can help to open the lines of communication between children and adults about breast cancer and foster a compassionate understanding of cancer and its effects.
