If you had cancer, what would it be worth to you to know the best care was right here in Seattle?

If any of us ever received a diagnosis of cancer, we’d reach deep into our pockets to “buy a cure” if only that were possible. But since it’s not, our best line of defense is to invest now — while we’re still healthy — so institutions and programs can be ready for us should we, or a family member, get some difficult news.

Of the $10 million it will take to build the True Family Women’s Cancer Center, generous donors have already contributed more than $6 million. But we still have a long way to go, and every dollar counts.

If you’d like to meet with Becca Kelly, the Swedish Foundation’s senior director, to talk about a significant gift, bequest, or a gift of property, simply let us know by emailing becca.kelly@swedish.org. Or if you’re ready to make a gift, you can do that online right now.
