Cancer is tough.
So is our commitment
to addressing it.

My Special Aflac Duck is just one element of our $145+ million philanthropic commitment to children with cancer, which begain in 1995. In addition to this interactive, supportive tool, we are dedicated to funding childhood cancer research and treatment. Through the Aflac Childhood Cancer Campaign, our team aims to give support, hope, time and resources to kids who face cancer.

About Childhood Cancer

Cancer is an enormous challenge, and it's harder for children. Did you know that every single day 43 kids are diagnosed with cancer in the U.S.? Over 40,000 children undergo treatment every year. Yet only three new cancer medications have been approved for children in the past two decades.* To address this, we support cancer research and treatment. By purchasing from our Aflac store where 100% of the net proceeds go to The Aflac Foundation, Inc. to help kids with cancer, you can too.

Aflac Childhood Cancer Campaign

Our commitment to pediatric cancer began over 20 years ago with our caring employees. One of the ways we give back to children who face cancer is through our Aflac Childhood Cancer Campaign. Not only do we provide innovative tools like My Special Aflac Duck through this campaign, we also raise awareness through our #Duckprints campaign that reaches hundreds of thousands of people in-person and across social media. In addition to this, Aflac funds essential research, underwrites treatment and contributes to camp for kids who have cancer. Our team is dedicated to donating our time and money to the childhood cancer cause, and we're proud to have given over $145 million so far.
