What Is Team Nathaniel?

Team Nathaniel is a nonprofit created in honor of nine-year-old cancer patient, Nathaniel Contreras, who did not survive his battle with Osteosarcoma.

We honor Nathaniel’s legacy by supporting other families with children affected by childhood cancer. We know that they are faced with very few available treatment options, so we assist them by providing the means to get them into a trial if they are eligible, or help with living expenses, while simultaneously raising awareness for pediatric cancer.

Team Nathaniel supports families by helping to fund their child’s medical trial, travel expenses leading to a trial, medication needs, or basic living expenses - whatever will ease the burden for families so they can focus on their child.

We strive to build one hero at a time.
