WIPE OUT KIDS CANCER INC

Wipe Out Kids’ Cancer (WOKC) is a Dallas-based 501(c)(3) founded by Cindy Brinker Simmons to advance pediatric cancer research and support children and families affected by childhood cancer. The organization operates a mix of programs — including research grants, the Buddy Bag program, Warrior Family experiences and a Family Assistance Initiative — to address both medical and practical needs. WOKC provides seed funding for novel pediatric cancer research projects nationwide and maintains ongoing family-support services in the Dallas–Fort Worth region. In its most recent filings (FY2024) WOKC reported annual revenues in the low millions and continues to fund research projects through its multi-year research cycle (2020–2025), while running signature fundraising events such as the WOKC Gala that underwrite program and research activity. The organization combines local direct-service work for families (hospital support, grocery/gas assistance, in-kind Buddy Bags and family experiences) with national research funding aimed at starting studies that can later attract larger grants and clinical follow-up.
