2024 Year-End Giving
At Ohio Cancer Research (OCR), we understand that no one gets excited about asking for help and donations—but we do it because it’s absolutely critical.
What does excite us, though, is the groundbreaking cancer research happening across Ohio that saves, improves, and extends lives. It’s why we’re not asking for year-end donations today—we’re inviting you to make a year-end investment in our seed money program, an initiative that turns bold ideas into lifesaving breakthroughs.
Here’s why your investment matters so profoundly: Every dollar donated to OCR generates, on average, $130 in additional funding from other sources. That’s the power of investing in innovation. Our approach is truly unique: we fund only the most promising early-stage research ideas, providing researchers with the critical seed money they need to prove their concepts and attract further support.
And the results speak for themselves. An astounding 97% of researchers we’ve funded go on to secure significant grants from national organizations. Without your investment in OCR, these groundbreaking projects might never leave the laboratory. Imagine the cancer treatments that would not be available today if not for the generosity of individuals like you.
The reality is that cancer touches all of us in some way, and that makes this fight personal. Your investment in OCR helps launch the most promising and innovative cancer research from Ohio’s brightest scientists. These projects lead to incredible results and drive hope for a future where cancer is no longer a devastating diagnosis.
So, let’s invest in making a cancer-free future and join together to give life to life-saving research.
Happy Holidays,
Bill Boggess
Executive Director
Ohio Cancer Research
P.S. Remember, your investment in OCR is tax-deductible and has a compounding effect, paving the way for breakthroughs that will save lives. Please invest in hope and innovation today.
