One Million to Cal's Angels Drug Discovery Fund

We are so excited to announce that with our most recent donation to Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago, the Cal's Angels Drug Discovery Fund has reached the ONE MILLION dollar mark! These additional funds will advance pediatric cancer research in the following ways:

  • The purchase of the first Echo 550 robotic drug screening system, which works 382 times faster than a human.
  • The acquisition of a new and updated drug library, increasing drug options to over 11,000, to support the work of Dr. Xiao-Nan Li. This is a critical path as the drugs are needed to even begin a clinical trial.
  • Salary support for research staff.

In 2017 we advanced our mission and commitment to pediatric cancer research and we will NOT stop until a cure is found. However, this is the next step to finding more treatment options with less toxicity and eradicating the horrific side effects associated with pediatric cancer. Every child deserves more!

It is through the generous support of our donors and volunteers that this is possible, so a huge heartfelt THANK YOU to all of you!
