The Prevent Cancer Foundation is the only nonprofit in the United States focused solely on cancer prevention and early detection. Since its founding in 1985, the foundation has invested nearly $142 million in support of research, advocacy, education, and outreach. The foundation’s president, Carolyn “Bo" Aldigé, presented the Cancer Champion awards during the foundation’s recent gala and praised Upton and DeGette for their leadership on the 21st Century Cures Act. Aldigé commented that she hoped to welcome the duo back next year “for a celebration of its passage."
“Bo Aldigé and the Prevent Cancer Foundation have been pioneers in the prevention effort, and they have truly made a difference. We are all on the path to cures together, and we are delighted to have the Prevent Cancer Foundation on our side as the momentum continues in the effort to deliver #CuresNow," said Upton and DeGette.
