A newly established nonprofit organization aims to support local pediatric cancer families

OREFIELD, Pa - Leo’s League Pediatric Cancer Fund, a newly established nonprofit organization, aims to support local pediatric cancer families in their journey.

Inspired by the courageous battle of two-year-old Leo Kushnir, who fought Stage 5 Wilms Tumor kidney cancer and entered remission a year later, Leo’s League is dedicated to providing financial assistance and support to families facing similar challenges.
