AROCC...
was founded
in 1971 by parents who had children who were being treated for cancer or
who had lost their lives to this number one disease killer of our
kids.The association was chartered by New York State in that year as a
not-for-profit corporation (New York Exemption Number
"EX147731") ( Federal ID number "23-7204637") whose
primary purpose was to fund the major pediatric research centers in
Western New York and other pediatric oncological centers in the
country.
