Welcome...  

Children’s Chance was formed on September 25, 1996 by two mothers who had daughters battling cancer. The organization was started to fill in gaps among the current services provided for pediatric cancer patients and their families. Children’s Chance & our Ambassador Zig the Pig exist to assist children with cancer and their families throughout the state of South Carolina with non medical needs. Children’s Chance raises money to fund a variety of programs to meet the financial, emotional, and psychological needs of the pediatric cancer patient and their families.

Children's Chance is the only statewide non-profit organization that assists families solely with non-medical needs such as paying mortgages and electric bills and providing families with gas, food, and grocery cards!

If your child has been diagnosed with pediatric cancer we are here to help your family with financial, psychological, and emotional needs. Children’s Chance provides financial assistance for non medical bills through our Discretionary Program. Our Angel Funds Program assists families with small out of pocket expenses such as gas, food, and phone cards, to help relieve the burden of trips to the clinics. We are also here to help you deal with your thoughts and feelings surrounding pediatric cancer. Through the Children’s Chance Counseling Program, your family (individual, sibling, or group) can receive counseling to help deal with the issues surrounding a child’s cancer.  Children’s Chance also funds a variety of other programs through clinics throughout the state. To find out more about programs funded by Children’s Chance, please click on the Program link.


If you would like to find out more information or have questions about pediatric cancer, please contact the Children’s Chance office. We will gladly provide your organization, school, church, business, or other group with accurate information including printed materials, brochures, and resources about pediatric cancer.
