About US

Each year, the Pediatric Cancer Symposium at Children’s Wisconsin brings together nationally and internationally recognized experts in the field of cancer research. This year’s symposium, held on October 27, 2026, will feature presentations on pediatric oncology and cellular therapy. 

This symposium is made possible by the generous support of the Northwestern Mutual Foundation. Northwestern Mutual is committed to accelerating the search for better treatments and cures for pediatric cancer, while also providing support both to families battling the disease and survivors living with treatment late effects. Since 2012, the company’s Childhood Cancer Program has contributed more than $75 million and funded more than 860,000 hours of research with the help of its employees and financial representatives nationwide.
