Cancer is still the enemy and the challenges of continuing to raise funds to support cancer research are more pressing than ever.

Concern Foundation for Cancer Research is currently supporting over 35 cancer researchers who are investigating new approaches in all types of cancer.  This independent volunteer driven non-profit organization has raised and granted over $72 million to cancer research projects across our community, country and worldwide since inception in 1968.
