Melodies Center for Childhood Cancer & Blood Disorders

Melodies Initiative Logo

COVID-19 has not stopped childhood cancer. New diagnoses do not pause. Its treatment cannot be delayed. Promising research trials must continue. That is the reality for the families in our community who depend on the Melodies Center for Childhood Cancer and Blood Disorders at Albany Med.

Because of the pandemic, two beloved holiday traditions – the Melodies of Christmas concerts and the Dancing in the Woods gala – will be reimagined. These signature community events typically raise more than $500,000 each year to support the care and programs of our Melodies Center. Please join us in our journey to raise this critical funding to support the programs, services, and people that make the Melodies Center so special.

Miracles Happen Through Melodies. Join our families in the fight against childhood cancer and blood disorders by making your gift today.

In the United States, more than 13,000 children under the age of 21 are diagnosed with cancer every year. But the survival rate continues to improve, averaging over 80 percent – thanks to increasingly specialized treatments, leading-edge expertise and ground-breaking research.

The Melodies Center for Childhood Cancer and Blood Disorders at the Bernard & Millie Duker Children’s Hospital at Albany Med is leading the way. We are the only provider of care for children and teens with cancer and blood disorders in the 25 counties we serve. Treating more than 1,400 children and their families annually, The Melodies Center is a regional health care resource, offering highly specialized and effective care to the children of our region.

By making a donation to The Melodies Center today, you make a direct and lasting impact on families in our community that are confronted with a heart-breaking diagnosis. Thanks to your support, they can find the care they need right here at home – at the Bernard & Millie Duker Children’s Hospital at Albany Med.
