NOW To Help Kids With Cancer!

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 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!

Friends of Children’s Chance,

For the past few years, we have shared stories with you about the miraculous outcomes experienced by our children who have cancer and of their families. It is always uplifting for us to share stories with you about a child overcoming cancer and beating the odds or of a family emerging stronger from their experience of winning the battle with this devastating illness. Unfortunately, it doesn’t always play out that way for some of our families.

If you watched the University of South Carolina win the 2010 College Baseball World Series, you saw Rob and Risha Teal. The story about their son Bayler was a touching reminder that not all stories have a happy ending. Bayler was an avid Gamecock fan and had been adopted by the 2010 baseball team. His fight to overcome cancer was an inspiration to the entire team.  They developed tremendous respect for such a brave, young warrior. Bayler dreamed of seeing the Gamecocks win the World Series but did not live long enough to see it happen. The Teals are but one of the families that have been involved with Children’s Chance...

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.
