Overview
Mission
To end childhood cancer through awareness, support and the gift of hope. We do this through funding pediatric cancer research grants and collecting & distributing cool, fun bandages all over the world.
What it reported doing in 2024
Bandage drives - in addition to raising funds for pediatric cancer research grants, noah's bandage project collects cool, fun bandages and provides them to kids in hospitals, children battling cancer, orphanages, schools, clinics, and other kid friendly locations. All ofthe bandages are collected through bandage drives hosted by the community. Bandage drives are held all across the us, all throughout the year. Most are coordinated by standalone organizations (schools, companies, churches, community groups) not directly affiliated withnoah's bandage project. The bandages are then donated to noah's bandage project for distribution across the world. In 2024, we collected 27,276 boxes of bandages at an average retail value of $1.84/box resulting in fmv revenue of $50,188. We donated or handed out 55,741 boxes of bandages at an average retail value of $1.84/box or fair value of $102,563. Total expenses included supplies for bandage labeling and related events.
