Shooting Cancer is a Long Island-based nonprofit that harnesses the power of youth sports to fund pediatric cancer research. We believe every jump shot, every goal, and every touchdown can bring us one step closer to a cure.
Our community is built from players, parents, coaches, and businesses who share one belief: children deserve a fighting chance. Through tournaments, club teams, and community events, we raise funds that go directly toward advancing research.
Based in Nassau County, we are proud to serve the diverse, family-driven communities of Long Island — where youth sports culture runs deep and community spirit runs deeper.
Utilize funds from a variety of sports tournaments in Long Island, New York to fuel pediatric cancer research costs — with the purpose of bettering the lives of families battling youth cancers and ultimately finding a cure.
Pediatric cancer devastates Long Island families every year. Research funding is chronically underpowered. We exist to channel community passion for youth sports into life-saving resources — because no family should fight alone.
We organize basketball tournaments, club team tryouts, partner breakfasts, and community fundraisers across Nassau and Suffolk counties — directing every dollar raised toward pediatric cancer research milestones.
Through community partnerships, pay-to-play tournaments, corporate sponsorships, and a dedicated volunteer network, we turn sports culture into a fundraising engine — transparently invested in research.
A future where no Long Island family has to hear the words "your child has cancer" without also hearing the words "and we can't help."
