In the 1980s CURE outgrew its home-based parent operations and moved the organization into professional office space. CURE remained an all-volunteer organization until 1990 when a parent who had lost a child to cancer became the first paid CURE Executive Director. Today, many of CURE's original programs from the 1970s to 1990s continue to be improved and expanded to meet the needs of families. Although CURE's current Board now includes members who have not experienced childhood cancer, CURE remains committed to developing new initiatives to assist families coping with childhood cancer. CURE was the first organization in Rochester, NY to recognize the need to provide support services to children with cancer and their families.
Current members remain committed to developing new initiatives to benefit families.
For twenty-five years, CURE has continued to make a difference in the lives of children with cancer and their families. CURE's formula for success has been the commitment by parents, medical professionals, volunteers and community leaders, to provide quality programs to meet the ever-changing needs of children and families struggling with childhood cancer.
