The inspiration for Restaurants for Research was ignited from the dreams of pediatric cancer warriors all over the country who aspire to grow up and become chefs, like King.

When you donate to NPCF, you're funding critical research and scientific advances to find better treatment options through the best doctors and scientists at over thirty leading pediatric cancer institutions in the US. With only 4% of all federal funding for cancer research allocated to childhood cancer projects, NPCF seeks your help to offset this lack of funding.

Restaurants for Research has something for every palate and is the perfect way to support critical pediatric cancer research! If you are unable to visit in person, you can donate online at NationalPCF.org/donate.
