ACCELERATING CANCER RESEARCH INTO CURES
United We Cure
Curebound unites San Diego ’ s top institutions in a collaborative effort to accelerate cancer research into cures . Founded upon a deeply held belief that cures are possible , Curebound believes that the next decade will be critical to the development of sophisticated , individualized cancer treatment and the largest opportunity ever seen to advance the way we treat , and ultimately cure cancer .
In 2021 , two highly respected local cancer organizations , Padres Pedal the Cause and Immunotherapy Foundation , united to form Curebound - with an initial goal to raise and invest $ 100 + million into cancer research in San
Diego . Over the last decade , these two organizations have collectively awarded over $ 20 million in funding for 80 + research grants that explore 20 + types of adult and pediatric cancers – including 6 pioneering clinical trials . To accelerate its impact , Curebound launched a Founder ’ s Fund campaign in 2021 , which has since raised over $ 25 million in new commitments - bringing cumulative commitments since 2013 to over $ 50 million .
With 1 in 2 men and 1 in 3 women expected to be diagnosed with cancer , Curebound ’ s mission is to mobilize San Diego to accelerate cures for cancer in our lifetime .
