About Us

SKCC Foundation exists for one sole purpose: to fund promising, cutting edge research that will lead to a cure for this deadly disease. We do this through our relationship with Sidney Kimmel Cancer Center, a dynamic nonprofit organization that has been recognized by the National Cancer Institute as one of the leading cancer research facilities in the U.S. for its work with nontoxic therapies that harness the body's own resources to fight cancer.

Finding a Cure for Cancer in Our Lifetime

The focus of Sidney Kimmel Cancer Center is "translational research," an exciting field of study that facilitates the transition of new treatments from the laboratory to the bedside. Through a partnership with Sharp HealthCare, the Center is able to provide cancer patients with access to experimental, state-of-the-art therapies. In addition to offering patients potentially life-saving treatments, these clinical trials give researchers the information they need to continue developing the ground-breaking advancements that will one day lead to a cure.

Leveraging Our Resources

As an independent institute dedicated exclusively to finding a cure for cancer, Sidney Kimmel Cancer Center is unique in its ability to pursue revolutionary breakthroughs in cancer research. There is no red tape to cut through, and there is never a question about how money will be allocated. This uncommon focus and freedom from bureaucracy enables the Center to shave critical years off the process of turning its research into results. And in human terms, that means saving more lives!
