Festival of Trees Special Appeal

What if your body’s own immune system could fight cancer? It can. This is called immunotherapy.

Providence was pioneering immunotherapy long before it was mainstream, which is why we’re one of the top programs in the country. Our brilliant researchers and clinicians work every day to translate complex science into innovative treatment.

Tonight, we ask you to help us fund critical research and essential support services at Providence Cancer Center. Your gift will support efforts to harness the body’s own immune system to recognize and fight cancer as well as help us provide navigators,

counselors, integrative medicine, support groups, and more to patients and their families.

No one fights cancer alone. Together, we can give gifts of hope to so many and move forward in our quest to #finishcancer.
