Sumario:In 2022, in celebration of the 20th anniversary of the Korean Society for Pediatric Neuron-Oncology (KSPNO), a commemorative meeting was held with former and current members. At the meeting, there was a special lecture for the retrospect of the Emeritus Professor Thad Ghim, one of the founders and the 1st president (2002–2003) of KSPNO. He celebrated the history and development of the KSPNO, along with the vision of our society. Especially he appreciated the efforts and endeavors of our senior members. In 2001, we started as “Korean Pediatric Neuro-Oncological Study Group.” The next year, we changed our name to “Korean Society for Pediatric Neuro-Oncology (KSPNO).” KSPNO emphasized the multidisciplinary approach to patient care. These efforts were strengthened by “The National Cancer Moonshot Initiative” since 2005. Now our society goes forward together with “National Cancer Treatment Guideline Project and Childhood Cancer and Rare Disease Control Group Project.” After all, we do not exist for ourselves, but for our sick children.
