Children's Cancer Association, operating under the JoyRx program, is a nonprofit based in Portland, Oregon. It was founded in 1995 by the Ellis family after their daughter Alexandra died of cancer, with the aim of offering a new model of pediatric cancer support. The organization provides free JoyRx Music, Mentorship, and Nature programs designed to help seriously ill children experience moments of joy and normalcy despite their illness. These programs are delivered at no charge to seriously ill children, teens, and their families, typically through partnerships with healthcare providers and hospitals. In October 2024, JoyRx Music began bedside live services in New York City, expanding access to patients in a major urban center.
