Hope Rising

Pink cancer cells against a black background. How do you see cancer? Case Comprehensive Cancer Center.

WE SEE POSSIBILITY.

Vision. Curiosity. Imagination.

A Message from Gary K. Schwartz, MD

Art and cancer research share the power to see what others may not—and to imagine what could be.

Please join me for Hope Rising, an extraordinary evening at the Cleveland Museum of Art benefiting the Case Comprehensive Cancer Center and the discoveries that are changing how we understand, prevent and treat cancer.

At the Case Comprehensive Cancer Center, progress begins with connections—between scientists and clinicians, disciplines and discoveries, three leading institutions and one shared mission, and research and the communities it is meant to serve.

On this special evening, we hope to make one more connection: with you.

Together, we can help change the way we see cancer—and what’s possible.

What happens when different perspectives connect?

Possibility takes shape.

Case Comprehensive Cancer Center brings together the distinct strengths of Case Western Reserve University, University Hospitals and Cleveland Clinic around one shared mission: advancing cancer research and improving outcomes for the people and communities we serve.

More than 400 physicians and researchers work across institutions and disciplines to improve cancer prevention, early detection, treatment and survivorship. Their work reaches a 15-county region of Northeast Ohio that is home to more than four million people.

Founded in 1987, Case CCC is Northeast Ohio’s only NCI-designated consortium comprehensive cancer center and one of 58 NCI-designated comprehensive cancer centers in the United States.

What Your Support Makes Possible

Helping good ideas move forward.

Philanthropic support gives Case CCC researchers the flexibility to pursue promising ideas, build momentum around early discoveries and respond to opportunities that can move cancer research forward.

Gifts can help launch innovative research, strengthen the work of investigators at every stage of their careers and bring teams together around some of the most difficult questions in cancer.

That support can provide researchers with the time, resources and freedom to explore new ideas and pursue discoveries that might otherwise have to wait.
