President’s Circle

Drive Cures Faster

The President’s Circle — a distinguished group of individual and corporate members who share Fred Hutch’s vision for the elimination of cancer and related diseases — provides critical, aggregate funding to speed the development of new ideas and innovations in research as they emerge. Annual gifts of $10,000 or more through the President’s Circle sustain programs vital to the Hutch’s mission, including pilot research projects, shared research facilities and equipment, faculty recruitment and training for the next generation of biomedical researchers.

552

members comprise President’s Circle

552 President’s Circle members have generously supported the Hutch’s leading-edge research.

50

companies support bold science

Many local and national businesses have joined us in our mission to cure cancer and other life-threatening diseases.

385+

active inventions developed

Fred Hutch scientists seek opportunities to license their inventions and other intellectual property resulting from their research.

$50K

towards a federal grant pilot project

A $50,000 gift allows scientists to explore a new idea with a pilot project that could lead to a large federal grant - and a cure.

Uncovering the Origins of Cancer

Dr. Sue Biggins studies how cells divide and distribute their chromosomes, a process that is almost always disrupted in cancer. The major structure involved in maintaining the precision of this process is the kinetochore, but understanding its functionality eluded scientists. During a pivotal point in her research, Dr. Biggins received President’s Circle funding that allowed her to devise a new technique to better study the kinetochore, which has important implications for treating cancer.

Invest in the breakthroughs that will lead to more cures.
