In the late 1980's a small group of Kiwanians discovered the need for a bone marrow transplant unit at Doernbecher Children's Hospital.  They raised some money and in 1990, started the Kiwanis Bone Marrow Transplant Unit.

As technologies changed, we had to change also, and in 1998 became the Kiwanis Doernbecher Children's Cancer Program.  We evaluated our mission, and felt that it was to help cure children of cancer, and there was no better way to do that than to help train the next generation of pediatric oncology specialists.  And so began the Kiwanis Fellowship Program.

KDCCP is a non-profit corporation.  Our board of directors are all members of Kiwanis clubs from Oregon and Southwest Washington who serve without pay.  Most of our volunteers are Kiwanians, however many are not.   Mike Davis is President of the Board.  Communications chair, David Edwards can be reached by clicking here, or on the contact page.

We raise funds by selling raffle tickets on a new Ford Mustang, two bicycle rides, two golf tournaments, Christmas ornament sales, raffle sales for our newest project - a beautiful gazebo, and donations by generous individuals and businesses.  Our fundraising efforts support the Kiwanis Fellowship Program at OHSU/Doernbecher, where the best and brightest young physicians are invited to participate in an intensive three year program to become the next generation of pediatriac oncology specialists.

At the Children's Miracle Network Telethon in April 2007, then pres. Dave Edwards presented a check for $175,000.  With our 2007 gift, we have surpassed $2 million in cumulative giving to Doernbecher Children's Hospital.
