About Childhood Cancer Society

Childhood Cancer Society is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to providing financial and emotional support to families battling pediatric cancer. Our programs combine direct family assistance, wish grants, community engagement, strategic partnerships, and high-impact fundraising experiences to help families during some of their most challenging moments.

Adventure Ted, our superhero spokesbear, represents our philosophy to “See the adventure in all that you do.” We are seeking ambitious, creative, and highly motivated students to join our Communications Team and gain hands-on experience supporting major nonprofit events and campaigns.

Internship Focus

This internship will provide students with practical experience in communications, public relations, event marketing, partnership development, media outreach, and nonprofit storytelling.

Interns will have the opportunity to contribute to communications and outreach surrounding two major Childhood Cancer Society fundraising initiatives:

• Mayor’s Benefit Dinner – New Jersey (October 15th, 2026): An upscale benefit dinner hosted in collaboration with the Mayor and First Lady of Saddle River, bringing together community leaders, philanthropists, executives, and supporters for an evening benefiting families battling pediatric cancer.

• Adventure Ted Golf Event – Trump National Doral, Miami (February 15th, 2027): A major golf fundraising initiative at Trump National Doral in Miami, bringing Childhood Cancer Society’s Adventure Ted platform to South Florida through golf, philanthropy, corporate partnerships, donor engagement, and event-driven fundraising.

These events will serve as major case studies throughout the internship, giving students the opportunity to help build awareness, participation, partnerships, and visibility around real-world nonprofit campaigns.
