About Wipe Out Wilms
Our mission as a registered 501(c)(3) Ohio nonprofit organization is to fund raise for pediatric kidney cancer research, specifically Wilms tumors.
How and Who We Support
Under our mission, we support pediatric kidney cancer research, specifically Wilms tumors, through Cincinnati Children’s Hospital (CCHMC) and the Children’s Oncology Group (COG). The corporation prioritizes minimizing our expenses to maximize the impact of our generous sponsors, donors and event participants.
Our son’s oncologist, Dr. James Geller, is the medical director of Liver and Renal Tumor Programs at CCHMC and is one of the global experts in this area as a member of the Children’s Oncology Group Renal Tumor Committee. The research by Dr. Geller and his colleagues has been instrumental in saving Silas’s life and we support their continued efforts to ensure many more children diagnosed with Wilms tumors can live a healthy, happy life after successful treatment. You can read more about Dr. Geller with this link.
For more information about Wilms tumors and other kidney cancers, the COG website is a great resource, highlighting that Wilms tumors are the most common form of kidney cancer in children and account for 7% of overall cancer cases in children with approximately 500 cases diagnosed annually.
If your family or someone you know is currently dealing with a Wilms tumor diagnosis, treatment or recovery, you are not alone! The COG website also has great information on coping with cancer and supporting families during this challenging time. If you would like to reach out to us personally, please email us using the link at the bottom of the page under “Contact Us!” We would love to help and support you in any way we can!
Meet the Board of Directors
Eric Imhoff (President) — Lauren Imhoff (Vice President) — Katie Louis (Secretary)
Eric & Lauren Imhoff
After the first golf outing in 2023 exceeded expectations, Eric and Lauren formed the nonprofit corporation, Wipe Out Wilms Inc, and hold positions on the Board of Directors. The corporation is motivated by their desire to give back after Silas’s successful treatment at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital and the cornerstone event - the annual Wipe Out Wilms Golf Outing - is a combination of their their love for planning and Eric’s love for golf. They are proud parents of Silas, Claire, and Brooks. Read more about their full story with the link below.
Katie Louis
The third member of the Board of Directors and acting Secretary. She and the rest of the Louis family are long-time friends of the Imhoffs and Katie brings excellent perspective to the Board with a background in marketing and experience with other nonprofit organizations. She is a loving mother of three amazing girls, but some might argue she manages four children in her house. Her organizational skills, caring personality and enthusiasm for helping friends and a good cause make her an excellent fit within the organization.
