At the Alvin J. Siteman Cancer Center, survivorship support is a critical part of treatment and recovery. On August 24, women with cancer participated in a Live Better Workshop with Chef Ryan Callahan, author of Cooking for Chemo. The event was funded through the generosity of Robert Ashton, who made this program possible with a generous gift to the Together Support Fund in memory of his wife Pauline.

Gifts to the Cancer Frontier Fund at The Foundation for Barnes-Jewish Hospital recentlly funded $1.5 million to support seven of eight projects through the Siteman Investment Program (SIP), a research grant program at Siteman Cancer Center at Barnes-Jewish Hospital and Washington University School of Medicine.

Availability of funding often determines the ability, success, and rate at which scientific discoveries can progress from an early idea to patient care and treatment. Gifts made to the Cancer Frontier Fund reach physician-scientists through a rigorous, peer-reviewed selection process that identifies and resources the most promising research in cancer in two cycles annually and positions those projects for successful federal funding necessary to accelerate the impact on patient care. It is critical to ensure this fund is replenished and that each generation has access to the most innovative therapies.
