We see a world without cancer

As leaders in precision cancer medicine, we’re on a mission to free the world from the burden of cancer, one patient at a time. But we cannot do this alone. We need you. We work hand in hand with local partners to sponsor community events and create initiatives that support patients, caregivers and families.

We partner with advocacy groups and organizations

We review sponsorship requests on an ongoing basis. When we consider a request, we ask these questions:

  • Is it focused on cancer?
  • Does it line up with our priorities and mission?
  • Does it help underserved populations?
  • Does it engage diverse communities?

Events we have sponsored include, but are not limited to:

  • Community fundraising events (run/walks/rides)
  • Patient/survivor education conferences
  • Health fairs
  • Screenings and forums

Questions?

We're here to help.
