Who We Are and What We Do

Carlos Silva and Juliana Silva in Marathon

Precious Jules Childhood Cancer Foundation was established to help children battling cancer and assist in research for treatment and cures of pediatric oncology. The Foundation is based on the extraordinary life of courage, hope, faith and will of our 5-1/2 year old daughter Juliana throughout her twenty seven month battle with Leukemia.

Our Mission is to provide funding for our programs & services through voluntary private donations, foundation grants and corporate contributions. Precious Jules Childhood Cancer Foundation is a 100% volunteer organization with no paid staff. Funds for programs and services are overseen by the Foundation’s Board of Directors and Trustees.
