Our long-term vision brings family support, research, and advocacy together. The programs below are ideas for the future, not active services, open applications, scheduled events, or promises of funding.

One organization. Three equal commitments.

• Family support: Practical help and moments of childhood joy for children and caregivers navigating cancer.
• Research: Support work on treatment toxicity, complications, supportive care, quality of life, and survivorship through future academic and clinical partnerships.
• Advocacy & policy: Bring families’ experiences and research evidence together to encourage safer treatment, stronger support, and better care.

Brand direction

Wilder’s Warriors is the umbrella identity, centered on courage, protection, hope, and the orange leukemia-awareness ribbon. Racing and monster trucks can give selected programs their own personality without defining all research or advocacy work.

Programs to preserve and explore

Pit Crew Families

Practical family help: travel, meals, emergency needs, care packages, and resource navigation.

Joy Ride

One flexible childhood-joy program. Possible rotating projects: Comfort Companions (stuffed animals), Build Some Joy (building kits), Little Racers (toy cars and trucks), and Creative Pit Stops (art, games, and activities). These are projects within Joy Ride, not separate commitments.

Fuel the Fight Blood Drive

A proposed annual blood drive with an established blood collection partner. No date, venue, partner, or registration is confirmed.

Crush Cancer Rally

A possible monster truck-inspired community fundraiser.

Building Hope Grants

A possible future research funding program focused on toxicity, complications, outcomes, supportive care, and survivorship.

Victory Lap Gala

A possible annual fundraiser when organizational capacity and support allow.

Finish Line Scholarships

A possible long-term education program for childhood cancer survivors.

Research and advocacy: the long view

Explore reducing severe treatment toxicities, understanding persistent adverse effects, analyzing existing data, and identifying supportive-care gaps. Academic and clinical partnerships could support future research contributions and publication, outside research funding, and evidence-informed advocacy. Operating a laboratory is not required.

What matters now

Wilder and the family’s immediate needs come first. No launch schedule is set. Keep personal family fundraising separate from future nonprofit funds and communicate the organization’s actual legal status clearly.
