The Prevent Cancer Foundation empowers people to prevent cancer. We envision a future where cancer incidence and mortality will be significantly reduced through preventive measures.
For more than 20 years, we have carried out our mission in three main ways:
- by funding research that helps us better understand how to prevent cancer;
- by educating people about how they can prevent cancer; and
- by reaching out to communities across the country through our resources, events and partnerships with other organizations.
The Prevent Cancer Foundation has provided more than $106 million dollars in support of cancer research, education and community outreach nationwide.
Our Mission
The mission of the Prevent Cancer Foundation (formerly the Cancer Research and Prevention Foundation) is the prevention and early detection of cancer through research, education and community outreach to all populations, including children and the underserved.
The Foundation focuses its energies and resources on those cancers—including lung, breast, prostate, colorectal, cervical, skin, oral and testicular—that can be prevented through lifestyle changes or detection and treatment in their early stages.
