Supporting Children and Families Through the Childhood Cancer Journey

Supporting Children and Families Through the Childhood Cancer Journey

The Navis Foundation is dedicated to ensuring that no child or family faces pediatric cancer alone. Together, we drive hope, support research, and build a stronger community of care.

Our Mission

We are committed to raising awareness, finding less toxic treatments, and ultimately eradicating pediatric cancer. Together we can drive the dream of hope today for a better tomorrow. 

Events

Please join us on June 15th, 2026 for the 4th annual Drive the Dream of Hope golf outing to raise funds for pediatric cancer research. 

Our Impact

In the three years since its founding, the Navis Foundation has raised over $300,000 for pediatric cancer research. This money has been shared between Dr. Michael Ortiz at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, whose research focuses on rare pediatric tumors and cancers, and the Pediatric Cancer Foundation, which has been funding groundbreaking research to eradicate childhood cancer for more than 50 years.

FEATURED EVENT

4th Annual Drive the Dream of Hope Golf Outing

Whippoorwill Country Club

Join us for a meaningful day of community, compassion, and impact as we come together to support children and families affected by pediatric cancer. Your participation helps fund critical research and family support programs.

All proceeds benefit the research of Dr. Michael Ortiz at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center & Pediatric Cancer Foundation.

The Navis Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that was established in 2023 after the founders experienced the firsthand effects of pediatric cancer. Our fundraising efforts support the research of physicians at renowned facilities across the country.

We are committed to raising awareness, finding less toxic treatments, and ultimately eradicating pediatric cancer. Together we can drive the dream of hope today for a better tomorrow. 

All proceeds are split between Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center and Pediatric Cancer Foundation. 

The Challenge

Cancer is the number one killer by disease of children in the U.S. today yet only 4% of federal funding for cancer research is devoted to pediatric cancer. While more than 200 drugs are approved for use on adult cancers, there are a total of 35 approved for children. We work to raise money to close that gap so kids with cancer get the same kind of cutting-edge therapies and drugs as adults.

What is Wilms’ Tumor?

Wilms’ tumor, also known as nephroblastoma, is the most common type of kidney cancer in children, accounting for about 6% of all childhood cancers. It typically affects children under the age of 5, with the average age of diagnosis being around 2 to 3 years old.

Funding research that builds hope for families
