ThinkCure! is an innovative, community-based non-profit that raises funds to accelerate collaborative research to cure cancer.

We bring Southern Californians together to work towards a common cause - to cure children and adults with cancer.

We do this by:

  • Funding innovative research projects at City of Hope and Childrens Hospital Los Angeles.
  • Creating an objective, peer-based panel of expert doctors to review two-year grant applications once a year.
  • Awarding funds are to the most promising collaborative and cutting edge cancer research projects that can involve other top cancer research hospitals.
  • Relying on community support, calling on everyone in our community to get involved and make a difference in our fight against cancer.

Cancer is at its "Man on the Moon" Moment
Cancer, the researchers say, is at its "man on the moon" moment. Even if we don't quite know exactly how we'll reach victory, we can see victory within reach. Forty years ago, only 3 million Americans were cancer survivors - today, it's more than 12 million! Thirty years ago, about half of the children with cancer were cured; today, the cure rate is 90 percent!

Because of research, more and more kids and adults are beating cancer and returning to the ballpark, or the beach, or the mountains, or wherever they love to be, as survivors.

ThinkCure! was endowed as a gift to Los Angeles from the McCourt Family and the Los Angeles Dodgers, and we celebrate our heritage and roots in sport through developing active events and ways for our community to get involved in a cause we can all believe in: curing cancer in our lifetime.
