Connor’s Cure was created in 2014 by WWE Chief Brand Officer Stephanie McMahon and her husband WWE Executive Vice President Talent, Live Events & Creative Paul “Triple H” Levesque. The Connor’s Cure mission is to raise awareness and funds for pediatric cancer research.
Connor’s Cure was established in honor of 8-year-old WWE fan Connor “The Crusher” Michalek, a patient at Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh of UPMC who battled medulloblastoma, a rare tumor that affects the brain and spinal cord.
In 2016, WWE and The V Foundation announced a multi-year partnership to support pediatric cancer research nationally through funds raised by Connor’s Cure.
To date, Connor’s Cure has raised nearly $3 million and assisted more than 400 families around the world. Funds raised by WWE will support Connor’s Cure through The V Foundation’s grant-making process. You can learn more about Connor’s Cure at ConnorTheCrusher.com
