We are there! The Hopp Children's Tumor Center Heidelberg (KiTZ) works and researches for a childhood without cancer in Germany and worldwide.
By purchasing a KiTZ flower from us you support this mission – help along!
From April 15th to May 12th, you can buy flowers and plants in our store to benefit KiTZ and thereby support urgently needed research into childhood cancer. For every flower or plant sold with the campaign label, we donate to KiTZ for better treatment options for children with cancer. Together, we are sending a strong signal for a childhood without cancer!
WHY DOES “GIVE FLOWERS, DONATE HOPE” EXIST?
-
Over 2,000 children and young people in Germany are diagnosed with cancer every year. One in five children does not survive the disease.
-
For 30 years, the chances of recovery for children with cancer have not improved significantly because there are still too few treatment options.
-
Cancer drugs have been developed primarily for adults for decades, and these drugs cannot be used directly in children. Cancer in children is fundamentally different from cancer in adults.
-
Therefore, therapies specifically tailored to children are needed.
-
With the fundraising campaign “Give flowers. Give hope,” florists across Germany are drawing attention to the situation of children with cancer and collecting donations for urgently needed research in pediatric oncology.
