The New York City chapter of Gold Rush Cure Foundation opened in 2018 after a grant made it possible. We support Manhattan and New York City boroughs for the Pot of Gold program and fundraising. This includes supporting child life specialists and social workers in all pediatric oncology units.

Pot of Gold Program

We are operating the Pot of Gold program through your hospital. For requests please download our form here and submit to your child life specialist or social worker to submit to Gold Rush Cure Foundation.

Volunteers

New York City is looking for volunteers in and around NYC metro areas. We are also looking for volunteers who can drive between metro areas or reach delivery areas in more remote areas around New York City.

Donations & Grants

The New York City chapter is part of Gold Rush Cure Foundation but accepts donations to be applied here in NYC for children battling cancer. We accept donations individually, corporate donations, and grants.

Supporting Children & Teens Fighting Cancer

We are answering the call to support children and teens fighting cancer in New York City and surrounding areas at all pediatric oncology clinics and in-patient centers. Our chapter has been operating since 2018 and has delivered Pots of Gold to patients in the area. Volunteers have been starting to fulfill hours by fundraising, preparing Pots of Gold and hosting delivery experiences for families. We are so thankful to all those who helped us start this chapter and to those who keep it growing.
