Maine Cancer Foundation: A Case for Support

Your annual fund donation will support Maine Cancer Foundation’s mission to improve the health and well being of Maine people by funding cancer research, education and patient support programs.

In addition to grant-making, the Foundation also supports Oncology Nurse Education; distributes the essay-book “Portrait of Courage, Voices of Hope” to newly diagnosed patients; and seeks to address needs unique to Maine evidenced by the Maine Cancer Consortium.
