The Four Diamonds mission is to conquer childhood cancer by assisting children and their families through superior care, comprehensive support and innovative research.

Four Diamonds covers 100 percent of all medical expenses related to cancer care not covered by insurance for eligible Four Diamonds children. Because of the community’s steady and generous support, Four Diamonds has assisted 100 percent of the childhood cancer patients who have been treated at Penn State Health Children’s Hospital.

This organization is near and dear to me because my baby brother is a Four Diamonds Kid. He was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) when he was only 13 months old and was treated at Penn State Hershey Medical Center. Four Diamonds made sure that my family did not have to shoulder all of the heavy financial burdens attached to cancer care and chemotherapy that was not covered by medical insurance.

Since its creation in 1972, Four Diamonds has helped more than 4,800 children and families and supported a diverse platform of childhood cancer research at Penn State Hershey Medical Center and Penn State College of Medicine, seeking improved treatments and cures to benefit kids around the world.
