It’s my birthday, and I know the perfect gift: your support for lifesaving science!
This year, I’ve decided to fundraise for Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center — a place where scientists are doing the science it takes to improve cancer treatment, stop COVID-19, and save lives.
Instead of sending a gift, will you help me bring the world closer to cures?
As I thought about my birthday this year, I realized that I wanted to do something especially meaningful. I care about this cause because too many people still lose loved ones to cancer and other diseases — and because scientific breakthroughs can turn the tide.
Did you know...
- Fred Hutch has been at the leading edge of cancer research for 45 years — starting with bone marrow transplantation, which can cure some cancers and has helped more than 1 million people. It was pioneered by Dr. E. Donnall Thomas at Fred Hutch. Today, Hutch researchers continue that legacy through groundbreaking work to expand immunotherapy.
- Fred Hutch is a leader in infectious disease research, including key findings on the herpesvirus and on the pathogens and viruses that cause an estimated 1 in 5 cancers. It is also the home of the HIV Vaccine Trials Network.
- Fred Hutch’s work is centered on the people we serve. This includes research to understand cancer’s toll on individuals and communities; improve health equity, especially among black people and people of color; improve prevention; and treat the entire person, not just the disease.
- Fred Hutch researchers and staff are guided by integrity, scientific excellence, and collaboration — a dedication that has earned them the Gold Seal of Transparency on GuideStar, a service that evaluates more than 2 million U.S. nonprofits.
- In short: Fred Hutch is an exciting place! Feel free to visit their website to learn more: www.fredhutch.org.
