About POGO
The Pediatric Oncology Group of Ontario (POGO) champions childhood cancer care. When a child is battling cancer, we ensure that the child has lifelong access to the best care for the best possible outcomes. We provide that child’s family with financial support to help ease the burden. We commit to their ongoing care, knowing that childhood cancer survivors endure medical challenges into adulthood. We advance cancer care for all children with cancer through our pioneering database and research. POGO leads a unique and impactful pediatric cancer network that is a model for Canada and the world.
Our charitable programs include:
- Financial assistance to families to help with out-of-pocket costs such as babysitting, food and accommodation when their child is diagnosed with cancer
- Special education and employment supports to survivors that face complications as a result of their cancer and/or treatment
- Research that utilizes POGO’s unique database, including medical and treatment information on every child that has gone through cancer treatment anywhere in Ontario for the past 30 years
- Professional development opportunities to ensure that Ontario’s childhood cancer community remains best-in-class in the rapidly advancing field of pediatric oncology
