WHY FUNDRAISE?

“I wouldn’t want cancer again, but in some ways it’s changed my life for the better,”

says colon cancer survivor Michael Hackett. “I appreciate life more than ever thanks to Mary Bird Perkins Cancer Center.”

When Michael rang the bell on his last day of treatment, it was a moment he had been looking forward to, but he didn’t realize how much he would miss the Cancer Center team members and the personal bonds he formed with so many of them. Mary Bird Perkins Cancer Center changed Michael’s life and he is forever grateful for the care, support and treatment he received.

Dollars raised fund everything from nutritional supplements to keep patients strong as they undergo treatment to lifesaving-technology. Plus, your dollars stay local with 100% of funds benefiting patients at Mary Bird Perkins locations and clients at Cancer Services. Your creative and thoughtful fundraisers can help us on our steadfast focus on improving survivorship and lessening the burden of cancer for every person who walks through our doors. Be a game changer. Make an impact.
