Story
Make Cancer Less Scary
The UCLA Jonsson Cancer Center Foundation (JCCF) wants to make the words "You have cancer" less scary for the more than 1.7 million people diagnosed with this disease in the US each year. We help Make Cancer Less Scary by funding the most promising research initiatives of the UCLA Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center (JCCC). With teams of researchers, physicians, nurses and health care providers, the JCCC works continuously to discover and deliver more effective, less-toxic ways to detect, treat and prevent all forms of cancer. And we are successful in doing so. Since 2014, basic research and clinical studies conducted at the JCCC have led to 18 FDA approved cancer treatments that are now available to physicians across the country.
But we couldn't do the work without donors who believe in our mission--we couldn't do it without YOU. Through your gift this Halloween season, you can help advance the research that is making cancer less scary for patients and families everywhere.
Simply put, your support can save lives.

Pages work well for tributes, birthdays and weddings, to name a few.
