Pablove Foundation[edit | edit source]
The Pablove Foundation is a non-profit organization dedicated to improving the lives of children with cancer through the arts and funding pediatric cancer research. It was founded in 2008 by Jo Ann Thrailkill and Jeff Castelaz in memory of their son, Pablo, who passed away from bilateral Wilms Tumor, a rare form of childhood cancer.
Mission[edit | edit source]
The mission of the Pablove Foundation is to invest in underfunded, cutting-edge pediatric cancer research and to improve the lives of children living with cancer through the arts. The foundation aims to provide a unique blend of art and science to help children with cancer live a love-filled life today and a cancer-free life tomorrow.
Programs[edit | edit source]
The Pablove Foundation operates several key programs:
Pablove Shutterbugs[edit | edit source]
Pablove Shutterbugs is a photography program designed to teach children living with cancer to develop their creative voice through the art of photography. The program provides children with cameras and photography instruction, allowing them to express themselves and find joy in the creative process.
Research Grants[edit | edit source]
The foundation funds innovative pediatric cancer research through its Pablove Seed Grant Program. These grants are awarded to young investigators who are conducting cutting-edge research in the field of pediatric oncology. The goal is to support early-stage research that has the potential to lead to significant breakthroughs in the treatment of childhood cancers.
History[edit | edit source]
