What it reported doing in 2025

Our activities in 2023 were directed toward the CLIC Genomics Project, the CLIC Scientific Annual Meeting, and a Fundraising campaign CLICsgiving. Our accomplishments were as follows:1.We continued to passively obtain donations from individuals via the CLIC/CLIC Foundation website.2.We have an ongoing grant from the National Cancer Institute and the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society for pooling and analyzing existing genomic and non-genomic data for childhood leukemias from CLIC studies and publicly available data sources This is called the CLIC Genomics Project. https://www.clic.ngo/introducing-the-clic-genomics-project/ 3.We held the CLIC Scientific Annual Meeting in Seattle, Washington, USA from October 9-11, 2023. The meeting included working sessions on current CLIC research projects, as well as future scientific directions and priorities for the consortium. The meeting was hosted by the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center, and the CLIC Foundation provided support for travel grants and for operational costs of holding the meeting.4. In November and December 2023, we ran a fundraising campaign online called CLICsgiving. We were able to raise $1125 from our followers and improved our social media presence on LinkedIn. We plan to run this campaign annually. Note: These accomplishments meet the first, second, and third purposes of the CLIC Foundation as described in the Articles of Incorporation.
