Why
Philanthropy has been essential to Siteman Cancer Center since it opened more than 25 years ago. Al and Ruth Siteman provided their transformative lead gift because they believed our community deserved a world-renowned cancer center.
Today, Siteman Cancer Center is a pillar of our region and an international leader in cancer treatment, research, and prevention,caring for more than 75,000 patients each year. And philanthropy continues to play a vital role.
Through The Foundation for Barnes-Jewish Hospital’s Illumination Gala, compassionate donors like you come together to fuel the work of Siteman’s 600+ research scientists and physicians, supporting the exceptional care of cancer patients today and investing in high-risk, high-reward research that leads to breakthrough treatments and a brighter tomorrow.
We hope you will join us to support this beacon of hope for cancer patients and their loved ones.
