About us

The Children’s Cancer Foundation (CCF) was founded in 1989 with a mission to improve the quality of life for young cancer patients and their families in caring for their physical, psychological and social well-being and to help doctors improve the survival rate of children with cancer through the sponsorship of drugs, research and clinical tests. In 2018, we also established the Children’s Palliative Care Foundation (CPCF), an entity solely owned by CCF with an aim other than supporting cancer patients to expand our palliative care services to serve more young non-cancer patients with life-threatening illnesses.

  • Yesterday was memorable for our young heroes at the Children's Cancer Foundation. We were graciously invited to visit the iconic #HSBC Main Building🏢, a masterpiece of high-tech architecture by Norman Foster. But it wasn't just about marveling at the stunning architecture. The real highlight was the heartwarming talks and career insights shared by HSBC's COO Marina Tong and her dedicated team. Among them is an inspiring cancer survivor who shared his journey of empowerment and thriving within HSBC's inclusive environment. This powerful testament deeply resonated with our young survivors, illuminating a path of possibility and hope. HSBC's dedication to making a real difference shone through every story and building. We left feeling inspired and hopeful, reminded of how strong we are together, supporting and uplifting each other.💪 A heartfelt THANK YOU to Marina Tong and the entire HSBC team. 💖 #Hope #Inspiration #Inclusion #ChildrenCancer #HSBCHongKong #CorporateCaring #BuildingResilience #LifeSkillsSupport
