SebastianStrong has awarded several grants to date for pediatric cancer research. 17 17 1 15 0 0 289411 495227 0 0 1670 7809 433183 437237 724264 940273 279950 679710 0 0 91503 120000 0 0 0 26410 128578 397863 928288 326401 11985 1016543 1036042 5140 12654 1011403 1023388 The Foundation's mission is to increase public awareness of the challenges children diagnosed with cancer face, and raise money to fund research for less toxic, more targeted treatments and cures. 0 0 699711 674710 SebastianStrong Foundation's focus is on funding cutting-edge Pediatric Cancer research. We aim to fund research that focuses on less toxic and more targeted treatments and cures - from finding ways to make chemotherapy treatment less toxic and more effective, to finding ways to teach the body to fight cancer. Projects are selected through a rigorous review process by our medical advisory board. At times, projects go through more than one review cycle, as when we partner with other foundations to jointly fund a project. In those cases, projects are reviewed by scientists and doctors on more than one medical advisory board. 34251 5000 SebastianStrong Foundation works to bring awareness and knowledge of childhood cancer to the general public as well as childhood cancer families through awareness, educational and volunteer activities. SebastianStrong routinely educates the general public through guest lectures/presentations at schools and community events. We also participate in family/patient activities at local hospitals. We offer volunteer activities, which allow people to get involved in increasing awareness and knowledge of the cause. We provide scholarships to high school seniors pursuing STEM careers to encourage growth in the field and to feed the well of future researchers. 733962 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 17 17 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 FL X Jasmine Gomez 3053350894 PO Box 661156 Miami Springs FL 33266 Frank Gonzalez Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Mike Percy Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Javier Vazquez Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Jose E Cueto Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 James McAllister Board Member 10.00 X 0 0 0 Rebecca L Mendez Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Oscar Ortiz Executive Director/ Board 50.00 X X 120000 0 0 Taylor Binder Board Member 5.00 X 0 0 0 Alexander Sueiro Board Member 5.00 X 0 0 0 Jasmine Gomez Chairperson 5.00 X 0 0 0 Kelsey Weaver Board Member 2.00 X 0 0 0 Ramon Branger Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Armando Lapido Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Leandro Gonzalez Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Martha Guerra Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Yesenia Moreno Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Braulio Ortiz Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 120000 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 207823 287404 495227 7809 7809 532469 207823 97101 435368 435368 4588 2719 1869 1869 940273 7809 0 437237 674710 674710 5000 5000 120000 25000 95000 750 750 12014 12014 22550 22550 29606 29606 10638 10638 Hospital Patient Activi 29252 29252 Merchant Fees 10234 10234 Licenses and Taxes 9511 9511 Dues & Subscriptions 3030 3030 993 993 928288 733962 194326 0 1009589 988133 2200 2200 4754 45709 1016543 1036042 5140 12654 5140 12654 X 0 0 0 0 1011403 1023388 1011403 1023388 1016543 1036042 11985 0 X 0 0 0 X 333882 312425 389740 289411 495227 1820685 333882 312425 389740 289411 495227 1820685 1820685 2953 7714 3090 1670 7809 23236 1843921 1162417 0.98740 0.99030 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED Annual Gala 434021 207823 226198 80081 Kayaking the Keys for Hope 155284 155284 6279 4 150987 150987 10741 740292 207823 532469 97101 97101 435368 1 Dolphin Challenge Cancer 347 Don Shula Dr Miami Gardens FL 33056 454808311 501(c)(3) 125000 0 FMV To advance the organization's charitable purpose.
