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.

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 Programassists
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

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.
