In 1985, Kiwanis members in the Portland area were invited to participate in raising money for Doernbecher Children’s Hospital. First with the Children’s Miracle Network, then with Neonatal Isolettes, to raise the money to buy and install the Bone Marrow Transplant unit for cancer treatment. This was completed in 1997 when Dr. Leonard Johnson, head of Doernbecher Children’s Hospital gave Kiwanis its biggest challenge: to initiate and fund a research fellowship program to end children’s cancer through the training of advanced Pediatric Hematology/Oncology research scientists. Kiwanis accepted the challenge and The Kiwanis Doernbecher Children’s Cancer Program was born to fund this fellowship program, dedicated to curing children of cancer by training the next generation of pediatric oncology specialists and researchers.
