Fox Chase Cancer Center created the Mission Fund for donations unrelated to a specific project. These highly coveted funds are used for the most pressing needs of the institution. At a time when cancer research funding by the federal government has been steadily and dramatically declining, the Mission Fund has never been more important.

Mission Fund donors offer a special gift, one of trust and faith. They offer a belief in Fox Chase Cancer Center's mission—to reduce the burden of human cancer.

The mission is fulfilled through research, treatment, prevention and education. It is alive in everyone in all corners of the institution, from nurses to administrative assistants; from medical oncologists to transport orderlies; and from researchers to volunteers.

But the mission of Fox Chase Cancer Center is not contained within its walls. It touches all who enter and spreads throughout the community and beyond. Fox Chase's mission is everyone's mission because it is everyone's wish to eliminate suffering from cancer. Contributing to the Mission Fund makes this possible in so many ways.

The Mission Fund supports priority research and patient care programs that are most promising and have the greatest need. These funds can be allocated quickly to newly developed technology or research projects. And today's research opportunities are more exciting than ever before. Sophisticated technology also is expanding to provide cutting-edge research and treatment.

Philanthropy makes the real scientific breakthroughs possible. Through private donations, projects that will not be funded federally because of limited dollars have a chance to succeed.

The Mission Fund has raised more than $2 million in donations since its inception. The growth of this fund is necessary to support the projects of many physicians and researchers.
