International Society for Children with Cancer
About ISCC
The International Society for Children with Cancer (ISCC) was formed in keeping with the 4th goal of the United Nations Millennium Development Goals; to help reduce child mortality by the target date of 2015. ISCC is a non-profit 501 (c) (3) non-governmental, non-political organization that was co-founded by Mrs. Saideh Ghods and Mrs. Fereshteh Tavakoli in Chatsworth, CA in June of 2004.
We believe that no child suffering from cancer should be left behind. Thus our purpose is to provide financial assistance for treatment of indigent children who are suffering from cancer in the third world countries, and to support their families during the healing process.
ISCC is publicly supported through donations from individuals, charitable foundations and businesses that recognize the urgent need to improve treatment and cure childhood cancers. All contributions to ISCC are tax deductible.
Dedicated volunteers support ISCC, enabling over 90% of every dollar raised to go directly to programs. ISCC raises funds through gifts from individuals, special giving programs, membership, events, corporate sponsorships, grants, Norooz Bazaar and the sale of note cards drawn by children fighting cancer.
