Summer 2017 Newsletter | Rutledge Cancer Foundation

2017 STARTED WITH A FLURRY OF ACTIVITY AS RUTLEDGE FOUNDATION LAUNCHED ITS NEWEST CAMPAIGN

This Spring, Rutledge Foundation launched its national campaign to increase survival rates of young adults with cancer. As survival rates have increased for pediatric and adult cancer populations, they have remained stagnant or decreased for most adolescents and young adults with cancer. The goal of Raise The Rate was for our supporters to raise their heart rates, while raising awareness, early detection of AYA cancers and funding for less toxic, more curative cancer therapies for adolescent and young adult patients.Although Raise The Rate events were held in April, Young Adult Cancer Awareness Month, we want our supporters to raise their heart rates year round and help us continue to raise awareness and funding for life changing research and care.

Thank you Mayor Price, our sponsors and supporters for helping us bring awareness and improved care to these deserving young patients.
