Cancer is a worthy opponent. It has a formidable nature, a resourceful manner, and a destructive appetite. But cancer will never have what we have...humanity. Humanity made up of courage, determination, innovation, and generosity.
When you become a part of our Portland Hope Gala, you commit to helping patients and caregivers with treatment programs, lifesaving research, medical studies, and vital one-on-one support and information.
It’s simple.
When you take part you save lives.
