The Isabella Santos Foundation (ISF) is a 501(c)3 childhood cancer foundation dedicated to improving rare pediatric cancer treatment options in an effort to increase survival rates of kids with cancer so they can live their dreams. We are committed to raising $5 million to fund the ISF Rare and Solid Tumor Program at Levine Children's Hospital, designed to research and treat a wide range of deadly pediatric cancers. This breakthrough program will allow the hospital to expand their clinical trials and recruit a national expert in Rare and Solid Tumors. ISF was founded in honor of Isabella Santos from Charlotte, N.C. who lost her battle against neuroblastoma in 2007. Through her legacy,​ we work to help impact other kids fighting cancer in her name. ISF has donated over $3 Million to date to expand the scope of pediatric cancer research and treatment, and to fill various needs surrounding childhood cancers.Recent Milestone Accomplishments:Through community support ISF funded a $1 million leading-edge rare pediatric cancer treatment room at Levine Children's Hospital, the Isabella Santos Foundation MIBG Suite. Levine Children's Hospital is one of a handful of children's hospitals in the country to have this type of rare pediatric cancer therapy rooms. Construction began mid-2018 and was completed in eight months, and the first patient was successfully treated there in December. ISF partnered with Community Blood Center of the Carolinas (CBCC) to open CBCC's first blood center in South Charlotte. Named in Isabella's honor, the Isabella Santos Center is a state-of-the art blood center located in Ballantyne.
