    62. Major Gifts: Why Relationships Come First
    Oct 27 2026
    What is a major gift? How does nonprofit fundraising actually work? And what makes someone a philanthropist?

    In this episode of Game Over: c*ncer, hosts Val Solomon and Dana Nichols sit down with Neil Abramson, the new Director of Major Gifts at Cannonball Kids’ Cancer Foundation (CKc), to demystify major gifts, donor stewardship, philanthropy, and relationship-based nonprofit fundraising.

    With years of fundraising experience across higher education, healthcare, clinical trial research, and nonprofit organizations, Neil explains why major gift fundraising isn’t simply about asking wealthy people for money. Effective fundraising begins with relationships: understanding what donors care about, connecting their values to a mission, communicating measurable impact, and continuing to steward those relationships long after a donation is made.

    The conversation explores what qualifies as a major gift at CKc, what a major gifts fundraiser does, donor cultivation vs. solicitation, why stewardship matters, common fundraising misconceptions, and why a “golden Rolodex” isn’t the secret to nonprofit fundraising success.

    Neil, Val, and Dana also discuss the changing philanthropic landscape in Central Florida and Orlando, the importance of expanding fundraising beyond geographic boundaries, and how technology, data, and Ai may influence the future of nonprofit development.

    But perhaps the biggest takeaway is that generosity isn’t defined by a dollar amount. A $5 monthly donor, a major financial contributor, and a volunteer giving hours of their time can all make a meaningful difference. Time, talent, and treasure each have value.

    At Cannonball Kids’ cancer Foundation, that collective generosity helps fund innovative pediatric cancer research and create new treatment options for children fighting cancer.

  • 61. The People Behind the Breakthroughs in Pediatric Cancer

    61. The People Behind the Breakthroughs in Pediatric Cancer
    Oct 13 2026
    What drives a pediatric cancer researcher to spend their career searching for better treatments for children?

    In this special Game Over: c*ncer episode, Cannonball Kids’ cancer Foundation looks back at some of the most powerful conversations with pediatric cancer researchers and physician-scientists from the podcast’s first 50 episodes.

    These researchers share the personal experiences that led them into pediatric oncology, childhood leukemia research, brain tumor research, precision medicine, immunotherapy, survivorship, psychosocial oncology, and clinical trials. Many of their research questions began with something they witnessed while caring for a child or family.

    The conversation also highlights how pediatric cancer research moves from the clinic to the laboratory and ultimately back to patients through clinical trials. Researchers discuss targeted therapies, reducing treatment toxicity, T-cell therapies, precision-based treatments for pediatric brain tumors, and the importance of developing more effective treatments with fewer lifelong side effects.

    But childhood cancer outcomes are influenced by more than biology. The episode explores financial hardship, poverty, access to care, mental health, survivorship, and global disparities. One researcher shares findings showing that approximately one in three children in the studied context was living in a low-income household or experiencing concrete material hardship at diagnosis, raising critical questions about how social conditions can affect pediatric cancer outcomes.

    You’ll also hear why nonprofit funding can be so important to scientific progress. Researchers describe how early grants from Cannonball Kids’ cancer Foundation helped validate promising ideas, support young investigators, generate the evidence needed for larger grants, and ultimately help launch clinical trials.

    Behind every clinical trial, discovery, and breakthrough are researchers who continue showing up because they believe children deserve better options.

    This is pediatric cancer research through the voices of the people doing the work, and a reminder that progress happens one question, one patient, one collaboration, and one breakthrough at a time.

  • 60. Beyond Treatment: 50 Episodes of Childhood Cancer Stories

    60. Beyond Treatment: 50 Episodes of Childhood Cancer Stories
    Sep 30 2026
    What happens after childhood cancer changes everything?

    In this special episode of Game Over : c*ncer, hosts Val Solomon and Dana Nichols of Cannonball Kids’ cancer Foundation revisit some of the most powerful childhood cancer survivor and family stories shared throughout the podcast.

    This retrospective brings together unforgettable conversations about pediatric cancer diagnosis, childhood cancer treatment, survivorship, grief, mental health, scan anxiety, life after chemotherapy, finding a new normal, losing a child, and turning pain into purpose.

    For many childhood cancer survivors, finishing treatment is only the beginning of another journey. Survivors may face long-term side effects, questions about identity, survivor guilt, fear of recurrence, and the challenge of figuring out what “normal” looks like after cancer. Families also carry the emotional impact long after treatment ends, from the anxiety surrounding follow-up scans and bloodwork to the lasting trauma of watching a child fight for their life. As one family explains in this episode, you don’t necessarily fully exhale when treatment ends. You’ll also hear from parents and loved ones who turned devastating loss into advocacy, research funding, community support, and a commitment to keeping their children’s names and legacies alive. Across 50 episodes, Game Over: c*ncer has created space for pediatric cancer researchers, survivors, families, donors, and advocates to tell the stories behind the fight for better treatments and better outcomes.

    This milestone episode celebrates those voices while reminding us why the work continues.
