Prouty Dollars in Action
Cancer touches everyone. When you fundraise for The Prouty, you fuel hope by supporting cutting-edge research for new treatments and cures. You help provide exceptional care and services for patients and their families. And you help Dartmouth Cancer Center get closer to ending cancer once and for all.
Thanks to the record-breaking success of our 43rd Annual Prouty in 2024, the Prouty funds are going even further to help advance cancer research and patient and family support services at Dartmouth Cancer Center.
Groundbreaking Cancer Research
Research is essential for any breakthroughs in the prevention, early detection, and treatment of cancer. It also takes a tremendous amount of resources. Funds raised by the Prouty community fuel vital research by providing seed-funding to innovative scientists who have dedicated their lives to discovering new and better ways to treat cancer and enhance survivorship.
On average, every $1 the Prouty invests in research leads to $12 in additional funding from other sources!
Life-Saving Clinical Trials
Prouty funds also support the advancement of clinical trials at Dartmouth Cancer Center, to make more cutting-edge, next generation treatments available to patients with a goal of doubling clinical trial accruals in the next 3-4 years. We know that access to clinical trials can improve patient outcomes, and currently there are 210 open clinical trials at Dartmouth Cancer Center.
Patient And Family Support Services
At Dartmouth Cancer Center, we don't treat a disease, we treat a whole person. It begins with state-of-the-art equipment and compassionate physicians, and continues with exceptional patient and family support services. There's a reason our patients consistently rank us in the top 1% of regional cancer centers.
Each year, The Prouty helps fund thousands of instances of meaningful support services that ease the journey of cancer patients and loved ones—free of charge. These services go beyond what is offered in the hospital — things like massage, art and music therapy, support groups, transportation assistance, and more. Learn more about Dartmouth Cancer Center's Complementary Care Program.
Healing Harvest
Prouty funds also support the Dartmouth Cancer Center food pantry, Healing Harvest, benefiting patients with food insecurity. Heartbreakingly, 22% of our patients at Dartmouth Cancer Center are food-insecure, and The Prouty is helping to support these patients during their cancer journey because food is medicine. We know that Healing Harvest will improve patient outcomes and reduce the stress experience by cancer patients.
Your support makes a difference – none of these life-saving programs would be possible with the Prouty community. By supporting this year's Prouty and helping us reach our goal of $10 million, you will help expand programs and care at Dartmouth Cancer Center.
You will bring hope to cancer patients in our community and around the world. Thank you!
