FISCAL YEAR END 2011 CANCER RESEARCH FOUNDATION ACTIVITIES (July 1, 2010 through June 30, 2011) The Cancer Research Foundation relies on public contributions to help offset the costs of conducting clinical trials and offering support services at the Cancer Resource Centre for Cancer patients and their family members as well as offering Community Outreach activities relating to cancer care. Through the generous support of many individuals and organizations, these services have been possible. The activities of the foundation are also substantially supported by the hospitals of the Community Healthcare System through financial and personnel resources. FOUNDATION ACTIVITIES: The foundation continuously seeks opportunities to educate the public and professionals about the latest in cancer care and participates and supports prevention and screening programs in the hope of reducing the morbidity and mortality of cancer. Programs held this year included the following: Annual Fall Symposium held October 6, 2010: This program targeted individuals with cancer and their support persons. Dr. Rao from Rush University presented on the dynamic area of research including genomic studies of gene activity which help physicians make informed, individualized treatment decisions. A second speaker shared information on energy medicine and shared several examples on how this type of therapy can help them in their day to day life. Annual Spring Symposium-Cancer update held on March 19, 2011 for healthcare professionals: A number of national and local speakers educated the professional group composed of approximately 110 physicians and 30 nurses. Topics included partial breast irradiation, gynecological cancer surgery, neoadjuvant therapy in breast cancer and cancer screening and early detection in ovarian cancer. Both programs were held free of charge to the participants. Cancer Research Department Activities The Cancer Research Department staff participated in the following programs during this past fiscal year: The Cancer Research Department continues to offer a number of clinical trials locally through the National Cancer Institute Cancer Trials Support Unit (CTSU) and Central Institutional Review Board (NCI CIRB) networks and the National Surgical Adjuvant Breast and Bowel Programs (NSABP) as well as through various pharmaceutical sponsors. Tissue banking studies continue to be an integral part of our research. These enable researchers to work towards developing a more targeted approach to care in the hope of finding treatments that attack specific cancer cell types and medications that are more tolerable with fewer side effects. Nearly 100% of patients enrolled in studies at our site participate in the tissue and blood studies. FUNDRAISING EVENTS: Annual Perennial Ball held in April 2011: Major fundraiser for the Foundation general contributions held in the spring. The event is a dinner followed by music with a short program before dinner describing the foundation activities. Proceeds from this event totaled approximately $177,000. Tree Lighting Ceremony: This event highlighted breast cancer in the past and was changed to include all cancers. In addition to breast cancer awareness pins, cancer awareness pins and hope lapel pins were offered to honor individuals with cancer. This year's event raised approximately $10,000 for breast cancer research. In addition to raising funds, the event is a meaningful celebration of life. Cancer Resource Centre Romp and Roll: The Cancer Resource Centre's main fundraising event included both a walk and fun run this year. This year's event raised in excess of $136,000. Friends of the Cancer Resource Centre: Notecards with photographs donated by local photographer Pete Doherty and printed by Largus Printing were sold in various locations throughout Northwest Indiana. Proceeds from the card sales benefited the Cancer Resource centre. The Friends hosted a "Share the Love Luncheon" featuring guest speaker Ginger Zee. The speaker motivated the attendees with her success story. She generously donated her time towards the event and helped raise almost $7,000. The Cancer Resource Centre, which was opened June 1, 2003 continues to grow and expand services. New programs implemented this year included the following: Family Matters Support Group Chair Yoga Movie Night Acupuncture Lecture FUTURE DIRECTIONS: The Community Cancer Research Foundation will focus on the following goals for the upcoming year: Review and evaluate current open protocols and enrollment to create a more comprehensive group of studies which will have better accrual Provide Cancer Care Bags to individuals going through cancer treatments with items that can be used through their treatment Promote services within own organization and other community organizations Update website regularly, creating a more interactive site for visitors
