UW Paul P. Carbone Cancer Center
To date, Tomorrow’s Hope has granted $671,576 to the UW Paul P. Carbone Cancer Center to sponsor 20 research projects ranging from brest cancer to lymph node mapping, to imaging to immunotherrapy to colon cancer. It is a privilege for Tomorrow's Hope to grant dollars directly to the people who actually do the research rather than a national organization that may 'sponsor' research. Working directly with the UW Carbone Cancer Center gives Tomorrow's Hope not only ownership but accountability in how our dollars are used.
