Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta Announces 5th Round of Peach Bowl LegACy Fund Awardees

ATLANTA (August 6, 2025) – Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta is pleased to announce four new research projects to be headed by pediatric hematologists and oncologists at the Aflac Cancer and Blood Disorders Center aimed at targeting childhood cancers, including brain tumors, osteosarcoma and leukemia. Funding was provided by Peach Bowl, Inc. and the Peach Bowl LegACy Fund, which was established in 2019 as a $20 million commitment that is hyper-focused on funding clinical trials for the most challenging childhood cancers.

The overall goal of the Peach Bowl LegACy Fund is to ensure that high-priority novel agents, devices and treatment strategies can be tested in patients at an accelerated pace, eventually leading to additional treatment options and cures. Funding is used specifically for developing drugs and novel treatments – including cellular therapies – that physicians at the Aflac Cancer and Blood Disorders Center believe have the best chance of success.

“The Peach Bowl was created to give back, and we continue to follow that mission through our donation and commitment to fund the most promising clinical trials,” said Gary Stokan, Peach Bowl, Inc. CEO.
