Champion for Cures Nominations Due March 31

AACI cancer center directors are invited to submit nominations for the 2023 Champion for Cures Award. The submission deadline is Friday, March 31.

AACI established the award in 2018 to recognize an individual or individuals who, through direct financial support of an AACI cancer center, demonstrate exceptional leadership in advancing cancer research and care and in inspiring others to do the same. Selected by the AACI Board of Directors, the awardee will have gained distinction through their visionary approach to promoting our shared goal of a future without cancer.

Through their transformational philanthropy, which may take many forms—including supporting a new facility, cancer center infrastructure, or programming—the cancer center can focus beyond immediate needs to foster creativity and innovation and multiply its impact on patient health, research, and its surrounding community.

The Champion for Cures Award will be presented during the 2023 AACI/CCAF Annual Meeting, October 1-3, at the Salamander Washington DC (formerly Mandarin Oriental, DC) in Washington DC. Please contact Shelly Pocratsky, development coordinator, with any questions about the 2023 award cycle.
