Sustain Your Commitment to Cancer Research

As a member of our cancer research community, you care about helping people live longer, healthier lives. We invite you to consider establishing your will to protect your loved ones and ensure your assets are distributed to the people and organizations you care about. 

When you use FreeWill, you can write or update your will in as little as 20 minutes at no cost. By incorporating a gift to The Hope Foundation, you join us in finding the best cancer prevention and treatment options, too.

If you have already included a gift in your will or trust to Hope, please fill out this form to let us know! We would love to thank you for your generosity. 

Hope Powers Progress in Genitourinary Cancers

Hope is a key funder of the SWOG group meetings, which annually convene approximately 2,200 oncology research professionals to share study results, explore innovations, and present new ideas for advancing cancer care.

At the recent spring meeting in San Francisco, we supported numerous special events, including the Nicholas J. Vogelzang, MD, Symposium, which this year focused on “Moving into the 21st Century in Urologic Tumors: The Role of AI.”  

GU committee member John Henegan, MD, attended the symposium and was inspired to give to Hope, saying, “My donation was inspired by the sense of gratitude I had after attending the Vogelzang Symposium on Friday afternoon. SWOG does a great job of striking a balance of a working conference with a learning atmosphere. Being able to participate in such a conference is rewarding and refreshing. My donation to Hope was made in an effort to reflect my gratitude and also to support the continuation of Hope’s work.”

To help sustain the Vogelzang Symposium, please comment “Vogelzang” in the donation form. You may also email your donation designation to Mallory Glenn at mallory@thehopefoundation.org.

This symposium is funded by The Hope Foundation with support from GSK, Regeneron, and Exelixis.

In a time when our public research funding is unpredictable, gifts from donors like you are incredibly impactful – your support makes progress for patients everywhere possible.
