Conquering cancer requires the commitment, talent, and resources of all members of our community. It requires the innovation of researchers and the insight of clinicians, the courage of our worldwide community of patients and survivors, and it requires the generosity of everyone who believes in a world free from the fear of cancer.
This year, as you plan your year-end giving, consider a tax-deductible gift to the Conquer Cancer Foundation. Your support will make a difference in the lives of people living with cancer and those who care for and about them. Together, we can:
- Fund breakthrough research and advance new discoveries in cancer care and treatment
- Put up-to-the minute, accurate cancer information directly into the hands of patients and caregivers, so that they can be empowered in their care and survivorship
- Support cutting-edge training and professional development for oncology practitioners
- Improve the standard of care worldwide—particularly in developing nations—by promoting international communication, collaboration, and education among cancer practitioners
The Conquer Cancer Foundation funds research focused on finding new therapeutics to conquer cancer and is also committed to funding research that other organizations may not, such as in palliative care, rare cancers, pediatric cancers, and high-risk areas.
With government support of research becoming increasingly tenuous, support from donors like you is needed more than ever before to help young oncology researchers get their start and to continue to advance the practice of oncology worldwide. As the end of the year approaches, we hope that you will join us in building a world free from the fear of cancer by making a gift to conquer cancer at www.conquercancerfoundation.org/donate. ■
