2017 ANNUAL REPORT
At CureSearch for Children’s Cancer, we work tirelessly to find better treatments and cures for the children who need them most. Working closely with patients, researchers, partners and industry leaders, we convene the key players to help further our mission to end children’s cancer. In 2017, we made significant strides and we are thrilled to share our most significant advancements with our passionate supporters.
The outcomes of our efforts—from the annual Catapult Summit held in March to the 30 new drugs in pre-clinical testing—continue to reverberate throughout the pediatric cancer research field. Our impact is not only measured by the results of our research projects, but also by the resources we provide to the many communities and patient families we serve. In 2017, we brought together patients, families and supporters at 80 events in 26 states across 63 different cities and provided critical resources such as our free CancerCare app, webinars and educational videos.
We couldn’t do this without you. Together, with support from our generous donors, corporate partners and event participants, we drive forward our collective goal of creating a world where children with cancer can lead long and healthy lives. Thank you for your support and dedication.
Sincerely,
Kay KoehlerCEO, CureSearch for Children’s Cancer

END CHILDHOOD CANCER!
Kay KoehlerCureSearch CEO
CURESEARCH MISSIONOur mission is to end children’s cancer by driving targeted and innovative
research with measurable results in an accelerated time frame.
RESEARCH VISIONImprove children’s cancer treatment and cures to deliver the potential
for childhood cancer patients to lead long, healthy lives.
OUR THREE PILLARS
By rigorously vetting and driving high-potential pediatric research at all stages of drug development, CureSearch is leading the development of better, less-toxic children’s cancer treatments.
Armed with world-class advisory councils, we are breaking down the barriers and convening the right players across the industry to focus on our shared goal: saving kids NOW
We provide children and families with the tools and resources they need to battle cancer today, while advancing new and better treatments to protect their futures. This includes our free CancerCare app, webinars and informational videos

CURESEARCH YOUNG INVESTIGATORS
$2.4 million over five years (2013-2017)
The CureSearch Young Investigator program addresses the loss of promising scientists from the pediatric oncology field by providing financial support to early-stage investigators. CureSearch awarded six Young Investigator grants in 2015. Investigators were highly productive during their three years of funding, making great strides towards finding new treatments and supporting the emotional well-being of kids with cancer.

Menlo Park, California. The invitational gathering convened leading researchers, investors, advocates
and pharmaceutical and biotech executives who are committed to accelerating pediatric cancer
treatments.
Our uniquely curated agenda combined stimulating keynote presentations with panel debates and
interactive workshops to facilitate open discussions, idea sharing and relationship building.
The annual CureSearch Catapult Summit serves as a unique platform for fostering collaboration across
traditionally fragmented sectors. Attendees share a singular goal: to create a world where children with
cancer can lead long, healthy lives.
CURESEARCH CATAPULT SUMMIT SPONSORSThank you to our 2017 Catapult Summit sponsors. Their generous support helps us drive forward our
