Our Mission

The Alliance Foundation exists to maximize dollars available for the most promising lifesaving research, treatment and prevention programs, while supporting the psychosocial needs of patients and families impacted by cancer.

Fundraising events and initiatives are carried out through a partnership between committed Roswell Park Alliance Foundation staff and volunteers.

The Roswell Park Alliance Foundation has evolved into something I never imagined. I'm amazed at how much people are willing to give of themselves to make a difference

Roswell Park is the nation’s first comprehensive cancer center and a global leader in cancer innovation.

The Roswell Park Alliance Foundation exists to ensure this work continues — stronger, faster and with greater impact for every patient who hears the words, “you have cancer.”
