Q: If Endure to Cure was founded in memory of its founder's grandparents who passed away from cancer, why is E2C's raising funds for pediatric cancer?
A: We chose pediatric cancer as our cause because of the unique challenge that kids who have been diagnosed with cancer have to overcome. Many of these courageous kids generally have neither experienced the simple joys of their youth nor have a deep well of experience, relationships, and mental fortitude from which to easily draw the necessary hope and strength. We at Endure to Cure and the members of Team Endure to Cure seek to be a source of hope and inspiration to kids fighting pediatric cancer. Further, in many cases, cancer treatments that are discovered at the pediatric level later become treatments for various forms of adult cancer.

Q: What is your targeted percentage of donations that will go to your benefiting organizations?
A: We target at least 85% of each dollar donated to E2C to go to the cause. This percentage of donations to the cause will not only result in a bigger impact on the cause, but also place us among the very best charities with regards to efficient financial management.
