Personal Fundraiser

In lieu of gifts for our special day, we are asking you to help us cure cancer by donating to Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center. Fred Hutch scientists are world leaders in revolutionizing the way we prevent, detect, and treat cancer and related diseases. To put it simply, their research saves lives.

Did you know ...

The bone marrow transplant, developed by Dr. E. Donnall Thomas at Fred Hutch, earned him a Nobel Prize and provided the first example of the human immune system’s power to cure cancer. More than 1 million people have received this lifesaving procedure.

Today, Drs. Phil Greenberg and Stanley Riddell continue Dr. Thomas’ legacy, leading the way in the game-changing field of immunotherapy. In fact, they are perfecting an approach that could render chemotherapy and radiation obsolete, making cancer treatment for patients much less grueling and toxic.

Dr. Denise Galloway helped develop the vaccine that prevents human papillomavirus, or HPV, infection, which can cause cervical cancer.

Dr. Jim Olson developed Tumor Paint, an experimental molecule derived from scorpion venom that illuminates cancer cells so surgeons can see tumor margins more clearly.

Dr. Gary Gilliland, president and director of Fred Hutch, has a bold vision for the institution. He believes Hutch scientists can find curative therapies for many, if not all, cancers within the next 10 years. They just need the funding to do it. Please join me in supporting this endeavor by donating today — your gift will support innovative research that saves lives.

Thank you for being a part of our special day and helping support an organization that’s near and dear to our hearts. Let’s make it possible for more people to move beyond cancer and live life to the fullest — meaning more happy milestones and many more reasons to celebrate.

Please donate today.
