Now Accepting Applications for ISF High School & College Student Summer Internship Team
We were so excited and overwhelmed with interest and response for the position we posted for the Summer Intern Program Lead! After combing through lots of resumes and talking with many applicants, we realized we couldn’t choose just one. So, we didn’t… and we can’t wait to introduce you to our “Team” of Intern Leads. Yes, you heard that right… Team of Leads! After such an amazing and qualified response, we have switched gears and moved to a team format! Everyone we spoke with was awesome and we just wish we could have taken them all. For now, we have our group of 5 in place and our “Intern Program Leads” will hit the ground running June 1st. They are extremely eager to get going and ready to build their teams!
So what’s next? We are now thrilled to open up our ISF Summer “Volunteer Intern Program” to highschool and college level students. Our Summer Intern Teams will work to create awareness and raise funds for rare pediatric cancer research in a virtual world.
Isabella Santos Foundation
The Isabella Santos Foundation (ISF) was established through Isabella’s parents to raise awareness and research funds for Neuroblastoma and received it’s 501(c)(3) status in 2009. It was Isabella’s dream to Beat Cancer, Grow Hair, and Live Her Dreams. Although research and advanced treatments didn’t come in time for her dreams to come true, her legacy is pushing us to give others a fighting chance against rare pediatric cancer.
ISF is dedicated to improving rare pediatric cancer treatment options in an effort to increase survival rates of kids with cancer. Over the course of twelve years, ISF has funded nearly $4 million toward expanding the scope of research and treatment, and supporting families dealing with cancer in a variety of ways.
