In 2014, Compass to Care received a generous grant from Dale Earnhardt Jr.’s Foundation to help children in North Carolina access cancer treatment. This grant has enabled us to build a relationship with the Pediatric Neuro-Oncology Program at Duke University.

The Pediatric Neuro-Oncology Program is an integral part of The Preston Robert Tisch Brain Tumor Center at Duke. Pediatric patients with brain and spinal tumors and their families are provided with comprehensive, coordinated care through research, clinical care, and support services.

Children travel great distances to access treatment at Duke, which was Nationally recognized by U.S. News & World Report as one of the best pediatric cancer programs. Yet that travel comes at a cost, which many families have difficulty assuming into the family household budget.

We are so proud that these families can now lean on Compass to Care and are grateful for the opportunity that The Dale Jr. Foundation has afforded them via their generous grant.
