All the Hope We're Helping to Bring this Spring!

Be Among the First to Sport Our Newest Hope & SWOG Swag - Debuting at the Group Meeting in Seattle

In response to member requests, we'll be unveiling a fresh set of Hope shirts at the April group meeting, including short-sleeved and long-sleeved options. We'll have new SWOG stickers and pens, updated tumblers - and more.

Visit us in the Level 3 Foyer on Thursday or Friday to see the full display of options. Not attending the meeting in person? We ship, too!

Special Events We're Funding at the Spring GM

As mentioned in earlier announcements, we're honored to be launching the new Meyskens Prevention Lectureship, as well as continuing our support of the Livingston Lectureship, Vogelzang Symposium, and Take Action Symposium, the Latin America Initiative, and the Clinical Trials Training Course. We're funding dozens of travelers and invited speakers to attend the meeting, and assisting committees with working group dinners, session refreshments, and unique A/V needs. Our Trial-Specific Education Funds will fund two kickoff sessions at the meeting, too!

Look for SWOG's full group meeting preview - coming soon in the Front Line.

Special thanks to our donors who make our work possible!
