Possible.
A word generally associated with conquering cancer? Dana-Farber believes it is.
Boldly recognizing that the opportunity to conquer cancer is within reach, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute has launched a $1 billion comprehensive capital campaign – the largest and most ambitious fundraising campaign in its history.
Mission Possible: The Dana-Farber Campaign to Conquer Cancer was publicly launched Jan. 31, 2007, to secure the financial resources necessary to accelerate the pace of discovery, speed the application of scientific knowledge to help save lives, and expand the Institute's ability to provide its signature total patient care.
This is an unprecedented time in scientific discovery – with the mapping of the human genome and advanced technology – and we have reached a turning point in the battle against cancer. Dana-Farber now has the knowledge and tools necessary to conquer this disease.
To make its mission possible, the Institute seeks investments in these four critical areas:
- $450 million for Research and Care
- $100 million for Technology
- $150 million for its new building, the Yawkey Center for Cancer Care
- $300 million for the Jimmy Fund and Unrestricted Funds
For 60 years, it has been our vision to eradicate cancer and the fear it engenders. We have been relentless in our pursuit, and the fruits of our collaborative approach are now being realized.
Together, we can make it possible to conquer cancer.
