Children's Cancer Connection supports Iowa families dealing with childhood cancer through camps, support programs, and family activities. They run oncology camps for kids with cancer, sibling camps for brothers and sisters, family camps where everyone can be together, and day camps throughout the year.

The organization also offers teen hangouts, family outings, holiday support through their Winter Wishes program, and caregiver support groups where parents can connect with others going through similar experiences. They provide educational scholarships, welcome boxes for newly diagnosed families, and their Beads4Bravery program that gives kids special beads to mark milestones in their treatment journey.

Everything is completely free for families. They serve over 850 Iowa families and operate out of the Jeff and Deb Hansen Home for Hope in Johnston.
