About YOUR Donation

Wade's Army was founded to lead the charge against neuroblastoma and honor the fight of
Wade DeBruin (2009-2011). We encourage our followers to use their power for good. And this year our donors will have the power to choose where their donation goes.

Continue below to learn about the initiatives that you can directly fund when you make your donation.

Pediatric Bone Marrow Transplant and Cellular Therapy Program

Wade’s Army is partnering with The Bristol-Myers Squibb Children’s Hospital at Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital to provide children receiving cellular therapy or stem cell transplantations treatment in the pediatric hematology/oncology unit of The Bristol-Myers Squibb Children’s Hospital.

Patients referred to the program will have their pre-transplant evaluations and post-transplant outpatient care at the Rutgers Cancer Institute of New Jersey, the state’s only NCI-designated Comprehensive Cancer Center.

The program will provide patients in New Jersey with access to this type of procedure closer to home.

Phase iII clinical trial fund

Wade's Army has partnered with Band of Parents, Joining Against Cancer in Kids (J-A-C-K), Ronan Thompson Foundation, Solving Kids’ Cancer UK, Solving Kids’ Cancer (US) and Zoé4life to introduce lorlatinib, a third generation ALK inhibitor, into treatment for children diagnosed with ALK+ high-risk neuroblastoma.

neuroblastoma Family support fund

Wade's Army is a charity founded to honor the fight of Wade DeBruin and provide financial assistance for families battling neuroblastoma.

Cancer is a word everyone knows and every parent fears. Pediatric cancer can be an overwhelming experience for a family. When a child is in the fight with pediatric cancer like neuroblastoma, everything in life can be drowned out and bills, missed work, and travel expenses can pile up very quickly.

Join and provide financial support to families battling neuroblastoma to cover treatment, loss of work, and other unexpected costs to allow families to focus their energy on supporting their child. Help support this initiative by donating now!
