NPT 04 - Breaking Barriers in Childhood Cancer Advocacy | with Robyn Spoon

Today on Nonprofits Today, we sit down with Robyn Spoon, CEO and Founder of Elevate Childhood Cancer Research and Advocacy, Inc. Robyn brings her firsthand experience and deep expertise in nonprofit leadership and advocacy to uncover the challenges of childhood cancer research and the urgent need for systemic change.

In This Episode, You’ll Learn:

Why only 12 drugs have ever been developed specifically for childhood cancers
How advocacy efforts break down barriers between families, researchers, and policymakers
The hidden struggles of families navigating childhood cancer—and how we can support them
Why collaboration, not competition, is the key to advancing research and care

Elevate’s Approach to Advocacy:

Empowering families—providing clear, actionable information so parents and caregivers can be effective advocates.
Bridging gaps between stakeholders—working with researchers, biotech, regulators, and policymakers to drive real progress.
Building coalitions—bringing organizations together to strengthen the collective impact of advocacy.
Focusing on solutions—defining problems first and using creative problem-solving to overcome barriers in drug development and access.

Join us as we explore how Robyn is changing the landscape of childhood cancer research and what YOU can do to make a difference.
