WE SUPPORT
Funds raised by Cool Cars for Kids are targeted towards delivering care, providing support and driving research for children with rare genetic diagnoses to ensure a brighter future through the development of novel treatments and cures.
HOW OUR FUNDS ARE BEING USED

CCfK Small Grant Program 2022 Recipients
Cool Cars for Kids awarded 4 different grants to clinicians and researchers at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia last year with the money raised from the 2022 Philadelphia Concours event. CCfKs small grant program provided funding opportunities to support patient community and outreach as well as basic science research in rare genetic diagnoses. Each of the awardees were given funds for a one-year period to support their work and further our broader mission of raising awareness and accelerating research in the rare disease community.
