What exactly does our foundation do?

Written by Daniela Golz on 12. June 2023. Posted in Latest news.

In the foundation’s own Dr. Petra Joh Research House in Frankfurt-Niederrad, the Frankfurt Foundation for Children with Cancer enables up to 60 scientists to conduct children’s cancer research at the highest level.

An interview conducted by Elyas Bozan, Managing Director of Morgan Philips Germany, with our Managing Director Marcus Klüssendorf, makes clear the importance of this scientific activity for improving the survival chances of children and young people with cancer.

The interview

We thank Mr. Bozan for the opportunity to make the public aware of our existential work by reproducing the conversation.

Education is important to us!

Every year, the Frankfurt Foundation for Children with Cancer sponsors two Germany Scholarships at the Goethe University Frankfurt for committed students of medicine whose careers indicate outstanding achievements in their studies and careers. In addition, the applicants’ social commitment and special personal circumstances are taken into account in the selection process.

The scholarship holders receive financial support, half of which is provided by the federal government and the other half by the Frankfurt Foundation for Children with Cancer.

As a non-profit organisation, we want to demonstrate our responsibility for the next generation and society as a whole by supporting young, committed talents.

The juunit GmbH charity campaign in December 2022 raised no less than 1,250 euros. With this great result, Managing Director Dennis Schwarzer did not miss the opportunity to personally present the donation to our Chairman of the Board, Dr. med. Jürgen Vogt, and the Managing Director of the Foundation, Marcus Klüssendorf. He was accompanied by his employee Silke Steul.

During a guided tour of the Foundation’s own research house, our visitors were able to see for themselves the importance of the scientific work taking place here.

A big THANK YOU to juunit GmbH and all those involved for this important support, which helps us on our way to achieving our goal of one day curing all children and young people suffering from cancer.

New Year’s Eve Run 2022 – We were there

Written by Daniela Golz on 6. February 2023. Posted in Latest news.

At the Spiridon Mainova New Year’s Eve Run on 31 December 2022, almost 2,000 runners – including four of our employees and one of the Foundation’s sponsors – covered the 10 km distance in sunny weather of 18 degrees.
The Frankfurt Foundation for Children with Cancer was also represented with an information stand. Here, interested people could inform themselves about the current state of children’s cancer research.
In an interview on site, the Foundation’s Managing Director, Marcus Klüssendorf, made it clear that despite many years of significant scientific work in the Foundation’s own research house in Frankfurt’s Niederrad district, hardly anyone knows about the Frankfurt Foundation for Children with Cancer. “That has to change and we want to change that! Because we don’t receive any funding from the public sector, but finance ourselves purely from donations!”
Founded by affected parents almost 30 years ago, the non-profit organisation has been enabling intensive research in the field of childhood cancer for almost 20 years – with the aim that one day all children and adolescents suffering from cancer can be cured.
The Foundation’s Board of Directors would like to express its sincere thanks to Spiridon and Mainova AG for the opportunity to draw attention to this forward-looking activity in Frankfurt at this popular event.

Great donation from WCP also in 2022

WCP GmbH in Messel has also supported the Kinderkrebsstiftung-Frankfurt with a great donation in 2022.
Mr Mattis and his team would like to play a part in ensuring that research against cancer in children can continue. They hope that new findings and treatments will be discovered and that this will hopefully help many children and young people with cancer.
A big THANK YOU to Mr Mattis for his loyal and valuable support.

We are pleased that our foundation, among others, was selected from the numerous suggestions made by ALDI’s employees.

Our Board member Fabian Rauch accepted the donation cheque for 500 euros on 15 December 2022 in Mörfelden-Walldorf.
