This partnership, in addition to the six-year relationship with Fox Chase Cancer Center, is another opportunity to generate awareness among the communities about the topic of cancer and how we need to continue fighting.
“We are very excited to be expanding our partnership efforts the Abramson Cancer Center on this fight for a cure,” said Sarah Clark, President of Philadelphia Kicking Cancer Foundation. “With their help, along with long-time partner Fox Chase Cancer Center, we are confident that we will continue to grow and further generate awareness for not only our organization, but also about a topic that is very near to all of our hearts.”

“One of the most important lessons I’ve learned as a cancer researcher and leader is that no discovery happens alone – it takes collaboration to truly advance research and therapies so that our patients and families can benefit from more and better options to fight their disease. Our philanthropic supporters, like Philly Kicks Cancer, who come together to organize events and raise important funding are one of our most critical partners.” Chi V. Dang, MD, PhD, Director, Abramson Cancer Center
