Giving to the Cancer Center

One out of every three women and one out of every two men will be diagnosed with cancer.

For these patients and their families, time is the issue. At the UVA Cancer Center, we're leading the search for a cure.

How You Can Help

Groundbreaking Cancer Research
Our researchers are translating exciting discoveries in the lab into promising new treatments for patients. Private support helps speed the pace of innovation — the best hope for patients and their families who know that every moment counts.

Promising New Clinical Trials
Clinical trials are the final proving ground for new cancer treatments, and sometimes a patient's last hope. Philanthropy is a crucial component of financing clinical trials, ensuring that promising new therapies help the patients who need them most. Learn how clinical trials help cancer patients.

Innovative, Compassionate Patient Care
Cancer patients deserve access to the most advanced treatments possible in an environment that addresses their emotional and personal needs. Private support helps ensure these needs are met and allows us to develop and sustain programs targeted at prevention and early detection.

A Healing Environment Through Art
It's long been understood that art aids healing. It creates a sense of peace and engagement with beauty. That's why it's an essential part of the Couric Center. Find out about our Design in Healing arts initiative.
