BBFF High School Chapters are student-led organizations that raise awareness, organize fundraisers, and bring hope to families fighting childhood cancer.
BBFF High School Chapters are city-based, student-led organizations that operate under the parent 501(c)(3) nonprofit. Each chapter raises awareness about pediatric cancer, improves visibility for the BBFF mission, and organizes fundraising events.
This program is designed for student leaders who want to make a meaningful difference in the fight against pediatric cancer. Each chapter is encouraged to adapt guidelines to fit their local community, school culture, and team strengths.
