The Believe Ball, in eight years, has raised more than $7.5 million to advance research for children in need of healing from cancer.

Last year, CURE Childhood Cancer’s donors gave a record $9.2 million to make the largest research disbursement of $4.7 million in a single grant cycle in the nonprofit’s 47-year history.
