CancerCare's National Gala

CancerCare's National Gala was held this April at the Ziegfeld Ballroom in New York City. The event was a great success, raising over $1,000,000 for CancerCare's free emotional, practical and financial services for anyone impacted by cancer.

This year, BioNTech was honored as the recipient of the Dorothy Schachne Corporate Achievement Award in recognition for their support of people affected by cancer. Richard Gaynor, President of Research and Development at BioNTech, accepted the award on the company's behalf.

We thank everyone who attended and donated in support of our vital support services, enabling us to help many more in the coming year.

Subcutaneous Drugs for Cancer: A Faster Alternative to IV Infusions

Thanks to medical advancements, many cancer drugs that were previously delivered only via IV infusions are now available as subcutaneous injections. For patients, this means less time in the clinic and more time with loved ones. In this video, we explain how subcutaneous cancer drugs work, the benefits of subcutaneous delivery, how to prepare for your injections and what to expect during and after treatment.
