ANNUAL REPORT
2014
LETTER FROM THE CEO
DONATE NOW FOR THE FUTURE EVERY CHILD
DESERVES.
2014 was a year of transformation for CureSearch. The devastating facts surrounding children’s cancer reinforced that we needed to change our business model to truly have an impact on both finding cures and improving the quality of life of young cancer fighters and survivors. That’s why we are laser-focused on driving innovative research with the potential to reach children as soon as possible. The 15,780 children diagnosed with cancer this year and the more than 40,000 children undergoing cancer treatment today deserve better: better therapies, better cures, better long-term health. But, CureSearch cannot do it alone. Together with the help of our donors, partners, event participants and monthly contributors, we are fighting for the future every child deserves and every parent dreams of. Join us. Make a difference. End children’s cancer.

LEARN MORE about the impact we are having on ending children’s cancer.
THE CURESEARCH MISSIONOur mission is to end children’s cancer by driving targeted and innovative research with measurable results in an accelerated time frame.
THE RESEARCH VISIONImprove children’s cancer treatment and cures to deliver the potential for childhood cancer patients to lead long, healthy lives.
OUR IMPACTFrom the testing of five new drugs, the identification of 350 new drug targets and most excitingly, one new therapy that promises to be ready for pediatric clinical trial in 2016, CureSearch is driving research to results.
IMPACT REPORT

THE CURESEARCH DIFFERENCE
We focus only on children’s cancer. We’re not here just to fund research, we’re here to drive patient impact.
We invest in large-scale grants over a three-year timeframe, which allows our researchers to focus on their work, not
fundraising.
We hold ourselves - and our grant recipients - accountable through a novel measurement framework and
frequent reporting to our constituents.
Our Scientific Advisory Council and Scientific Review Board brain trust is
unmatched.
We build strong, long-term partnerships with our funded researchers so that successful
work is supported beyond the scope of their original CureSearch grant.
We are bridging the ‘valley of death’ by creating unique partnerships with biotech and
pharma to ensure that promising research makes it out of the lab and into the clinic.
THE ACCELERATION INITIATIVEThis $10M trailblazing initiative is our commitment to surface the most promising children’s cancer research, drive it to clinical practice, and
quickly find better treatments and cures.
ACCELERATION INITIATIVE 1$5M over three years
