Since 2016, the Community Foundation of Broward has provided more than $3 million to fight cancer. Thanks to support from our fundholders, we invest in opportunities to advance local cancer research that make lifesaving clinical trials, precision medicine, and targeted therapies accessible to Broward cancer patients. We also strive to ensure access to revolutionary discoveries in cancer therapy and provide support systems for all Broward cancer patients, including early detection.
