NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The American Cancer Society estimates 10,470 children in the United States under the age of 15 are expected to be diagnosed with cancer in 2022. DCG Giving, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit part of the Dave Cantin Group, which is one of the largest financial advisory services companies for mergers and acquisitions, aims to improve cure rate and reduce side effects for children with cancer.

“We are proud to partner with COG, which is trailblazing the advancement for childhood and adolescent cancer research and treatment,” said Executive Director Michael Weiner, MD. “Each of COG’s local programs is at the forefront of research and clinical care. These institutions are best equipped to address patient needs, and they are a part of a worldwide network that is united in the fight to cure and eradicate childhood cancer.”

“We are excited for our new partnership with DCG Giving, and its ability to channel charitable donations from the automotive industry as well as other philanthropic organizations, foundations, and individuals, that will support COG’s incredible progress,” said COG Chair Douglas S. Hawkins, MD. “We remain steadfast that the clinical research done by COG today will continue changing the lives of children and young adults, leading to more effective treatments for those fighting cancer in the future.”
