Overview

Mission

To help patients and families cope with the treatment process while fighting pediatric cancer and to raise awareness for children who are fighting cancer.

What it reported doing in 2024

Coping kits: in june 2011, adopt a pig began providing something we call a "coping kit" to every newly diagnosed pediatric cancer patient and their family at the nemours ai dupont hospital for children in wilmington, Delaware. In 2024, 45 coping kits were distributed. Each coping kit contains items identified by parents as helpful during their child's treatment. The items range from personal care items, gift cards for major retailers and gas stations, personal entertainment products and non-perishable snacks. Receiving a cancer diagnosis for your child is not something you can prepare for, and the goal of the coping kits is to provide much needed items to families as they face their greatest challenge.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and revenue comfortably covers expenses. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
