Join Us. Give Hope. Save Kids. Beat Childhood Cancer.

In 1975, two-year old Brett Doucette was diagnosed with leukemia. Facing a survival rate of just 20%, Brett's odds of survival were slim. Brett's dad, Eddie, long-time Milwaukee Bucks' radio announcer, and his good friend, championship Bucks' player, Jon McGlocklin wanted to do more...not just for Brett, but for every child battling cancer.

The MACC Fund was created and remains a non-profit, in December 1976. Determined to make an immediate difference by Giving Hope through Research. With advances in medical research, cure rates began to rise and community involvement began to spread. 

Event-related fundraising and cause-related marketing comprise about 75% of the MACC Fund's annual income. The other 25% of annual income comes from donations, corporate and workplace giving, planned giving, stock gifts, matching gifts, and through membership in the Hope Team.

Our amazing and ever-expanding force of committed volunteers, participants, sponsors, sports teams, schools, groups, and individuals is vital to continuing to provide critical research dollars to find a cure. 

The MACC Fund's first success story, Brett Doucette, beat the odds. Today, Brett is healthy and happily married.

Survival rates have dramatically increased since Brett was diagnosed in 1975 to an overall cure rate of 80% today. To date, the MACC Fund has contributed over $41 million dollars to childhood cancer and related blood disorder research.
